Because Mommy Likes to Know

Here's what we check, what we don't, and a few gentle questions worth asking.

What Our Verified Badge Means

A Verified badge means our team reviewed the listing details before it went live — contact information, hours, capacity and caregiver counts. It is not a license, endorsement, background check, or guarantee of quality.

A Little Checklist for Your Visit

  • Arrange a visit before your child's first day.
  • Ask about the daily routine — meals, naps, play, and pickup.
  • Confirm how many caregivers there are for how many children.
  • Discuss meals, naps, transportation, and what happens in an emergency.
  • Ask about experience caring for children your child's age.
  • Confirm voucher and licensing information if that matters to you.
  • Trust your instincts — the right place will feel right.

Reporting a Listing

If something doesn't look right, tell us. You can report a listing and our team will take a look.
