Philadelphia Childcare Map & Fund for Quality

Funded by the William Penn Foundation, TRF’s PolicyMap and Policy Solutions mapped the supply and demand of child care in Philadelphia—identifying where there are communities underserved by high-quality options. The free mapping tool can be accessed at www.childcaremap.org. Building on this analysis, TRF has partnered with the Public Health Management Corporation, also with funding from the William Penn Foundation, to expand high-quality early childhood education facilities to reach more low-income children. A first-of-its-kind local initiative, the Fund for Quality will be a $7 million effort to provide a new source of capital and planning services for high-quality providers.
