Guides
All guidesQuestions
Where does Daycare Locations get its data?
From the official licensing data of nine state agencies (Texas, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Washington, Massachusetts). For Florida, which has no current downloadable list, we use public business listings and send you to the DCF search to verify each license. Each page shows the source and its date.
How do I know a daycare is licensed?
Look it up on your state's official search. Our license check guide lists the agency and search tool of each state, and every program page links to it.
Why do some family child care homes have no address?
For privacy we never publish the street address of care offered in a private home. Homes appear on city pages with name, ZIP code, the phone the state publishes, capacity and license type.
Does this site rate daycares?
No. We show the licensing and inspection information that states publish, without scores or rankings.
Sources: state licensing open data and public exports listed on each state page (October and November 2026); Florida from public business listings. Independent guide, not a government website.
