4Cs County Mapping

4Cs of Passaic County Child Care Mapping Project

4Cs of Passaic County mapped the child care landscape throughout Passaic County to better understand the current supply of child care compared to the potential need for child care by working parents. The maps also show Head Start and Early Head Start programs.

Each map can be viewed from a county-wide perspective, or you can zoom in to see communities or neighborhoods.

A legend is available for each map to describe the type of program shown (licensed centers, registered family child care homes, Head Start, etc.).

 

Colored backgrounds. The maps are set to U.S. Census Bureau data that shows children in families where all parents are working. Viewers can also choose to see a background layer reflecting children in poverty or a background layer reflecting the percentage of children in homes where Spanish is spoken at home.

Children in Working Families.The darker the shade of purple, the greater the percentage of children in working families. This is referred to as a working families layer.

Children in Poverty.The darker the shade of red, the greater the percentage of children living in poverty.

Children in Families Where Spanish is Spoken at Home. The darker the shade of blue, the greater the percentage of children in families where Spanish is spoken at home.

Sources. The child care data reflects the operating status for child care programs as of January 2023 from the New Jersey Child Care Information System (NJCCIS).  The data related to elementary schools with and without preschool programs is from the New Jersey Department of Education Data & Reports Portal, which shows elementary school data for the 2021-2022 school year.
