About Child Care Licensure: The child care licensing program is a component of the services provided by Department of Children and Families. The program is accountable for the statewide licensure of Florida's child care facilities, specialized child care facilities for the care of mildly ill children, large family child care homes and licensure or registration of family day care homes. The purpose of the program is to ensure a healthy and safe environment for the children in child care settings and to improve the quality of their care through regulation and consultation. The department ensures that licensing requirements are met through on-going inspections of child care facilities and homes, thus preventing the continued operation of substandard child care programs. Currently, DCF child care licensing staff are responsible for the inspection and licensure of child care facilities and homes in 62 out of 67 counties in the State of Florida as well as registration of family day care homes in those counties which do not require licensure. Five counties have elected to regulate licensing of child care facilities and homes as provided in 402.306, Florida Statutes. Those counties are Broward, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Sarasota. ******************************************************************************** Please Note: The following point data represents only Geocoded features, these points HAVE NOT been validated via QAQC methods such as aerials or Google Street View. Records that have been marked with a FLAG = V are locations that have a geocoded match result of 100%. ******************************************************************************** Please Note: Duplicate address points may exist where more than one daycare occurs. ******************************************************************************** What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers. The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located. Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas. For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route. |
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes. |

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

GeoPlan Center Process Steps: Daycare locations and information were obtained from the Department of Children and Families via online download of an Excel Spreadsheet. The download file is here: http://www.myflfamilies.com/service-programs/child-care/provider-information. There were 10022 records in the original table. The table was converted to a general database file (.dbf). Once converted, 5 records were removed due to incomplete or confidential address information. The dbf was then geocoded against a statewide composite geocoder using Parcel locations, NAVTEQ streets, and TIGER roads. This was converted into a shapefile in the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. After geocoding, the subsequent steps were followed: - Locations receiving a Score of 100 and which were geocoded into the "GC_Parcels_201" were given the flag of "V" (for verified) in the added field called FLAG. These records totaled 7188. The remaining 2829 records were given the flag of "NV" (for not verified). - The fields LAT_DD and LONG_DD were added and their geometry was calculated. This information was used to calculate the MGRS field. - The UPDATE_DAY and FGDL AQDATE fields were added. FGDLAQDATE is based on the date GeoPlan acquired the dataset and completed processing the dataset. - The DESCRIPT field was added and based on NAME. - Fields were upcased. Process Date: 20160802 |
