PolicyMap Integrated Mapping Tools

A mapping tool helps your community learn more about what you do. It can help them make smarter decisions.

With our easy-to-use mapping technology, you can share pertinent, up-to-date indicators from our vast data warehouse and your project-specific data that you want people to see.

We can build a comprehensive but easy-to-use mapping tool for your company or organization. Don't reinvent the map. Unlike creating a new mapping system from scratch, PolicyMap Integrated Mapping Tools are affordable and can be assembled quickly.

Philadelphia Childcare Map

To create an accessible platform for identifying gaps in childcare access, the William Penn Foundation supported an analysis using locally available data. The results of the analysis were put on a PolicyMap Integrated Mapping Tool, along with other helpful indicators showing the number of young children and existing childcare resources, like certified and uncertified childcare centers, and Head Start centers. The tool also uses other data to show potential locations for new childcare facilities, like previously certified centers and for-sale school district buildings.

This gave providers a tool for siting new child care centers, gave investors and policymakers a tool for targeting resources to increase high-quality childcare access, and gave parents a tool for finding high-quality childcare centers near where they live and work.
