Child care access in West Virginia: Mapping the Gap™

Description:

CCAoA developed a map dashboard to show the supply and demand of child care for children in West Virginia and explore if any gaps in child care access existed across the state. This project was created in collaboration with TEAM for West Virginia Children and the West Virginia Association for Young Children. The current data dashboard includes all 1,412 open and licensed child care providers throughout West Virginia as of November 2023, which have a total licensed capacity to serve 45,235 children up to age 12. Of the total providers, 1,316 (or 93% of the total) are center-based, family child care, or Head Start and have the capacity to serve 39,492 infant, toddler, and pre-kindergarten slots. Data from West Virginia’s Mapping the Gap™ analysis shows that potentially 25,828 (41%) of children under age six who may need child care do not have access to child care throughout the state.  (author abstract)
