These maps show licensed child care providers in Michigan and their capacity, organized by provider type and community characteristics. They help users understand where providers are located and how they align with local demand. Data are updated daily from on the Child Care Hub Information Records Portal (CCHIRP) maintained by Michigan’s Child Care Licensing Bureau.

Available Maps

• Providers by License Type: Compares Michigan’s licensed child care supply across provider types to estimated demand.
• Community Characteristics of Providers: Shows how providers are distributed across community resource levels, geographic types (city, suburb, rural/town), and population size.
