GEEARS and Get Georgia Reading have established a strategic partnership that provides the critical data you need all in one place. The Readiness Radar helps you quickly find the data you need to support Georgia’s children.
Use the Readiness Radar to access:
- Early care and education (ECE) programs statewide
- Education, health, housing, economic, and demographic indicators at the neighborhood and county level
- GEEARS Early Childhood Index for all Georgia census tracts
- Community profiles for cities, counties, and legislative districts
- Early childhood education supply, demand, and gap analysis for five-county Metro Atlanta – Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett – via the ATL ACCESS Map.
Data is sourced from the US Census Bureau, Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, Georgia Department of Education, Georgia Department of Public Health, and Governor’s Office of Student Achievement, with analysis by Reinvestment Fund and Neighborhood Nexus. For more information about the work of our mapping partner, please visit the Neighborhood Nexus website.

ATL ACCESS Map
ATL ACCESS (Atlanta Child Care and Early Learning Supply Status) Map is built into the Readiness Radar tool. It models supply, demand, and gaps related to child care in Metro Atlanta. Reinvestment Fund analyzed the supply of and demand for child care in the five-county metro Atlanta region (Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties). ATL ACCESS Map combines multiple childcare supply sources to provide a comprehensive measure of supply, adjusting residential demand to account for journey-to-work related patterns, and modeling gaps at the block group level. The research and development of the mapping tool was guided by a group of local experts, including early learning providers, policymakers, funders, and other community partners.
The goal of the ATL ACCESS Map is to help funders, practitioners, advocates, and other stakeholders understand the landscape of early learning resources in Metro Atlanta and pinpoint where gaps exist using measures of quality and need.
