Helping care for a newborn while working on that project gave me tremendous insight into the importance of child care licensing. My son will turn twelve in December, which is hard to believe. But what's even more difficult to believe is that first ODJFS system effectively set the standard for automated licensing systems across the country."

MAP Software has provided SansWrite to the Office of School Readiness since 2000. As a result of its success, SansWrite was selected as the foundation for the new information system.
