Reflecting on past experience as a preK teacher, the developer realized that licensing and citation info for CA child care facilities is not especially easy for the public to access and digest. Built off of data from California Dept of Social Services, Child Care Check enables a user to display facilities on a map & filter by adherence to state licensing, location, and center name/key words. Child Care Check is a resource that will help both parents & care providers find quality care environments for children.

Python3, Flask, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, Jinja

Google Maps API, Google Geocoding API

Future features and fixes currently under considertion include:

• functional filter form on /facilities
• testing and refactoring front end to ensure mobile responsiveness
• scheduled auto-updates to data
