## What is DaycareAlert?

DaycareAlert is the most complete database of official daycare licensing and inspection records available to parents covering more than 238,000 licensed childcare facilities across all 50 states.

Every daycare profile is built from official state licensing agency records, so you see what the state inspector saw not marketing photos.

SEARCH & COMPARE

• Find licensed daycares by name, city, or state
• See capacity, hours, ages served, contact details, and estimated tuition
• Safety ratings computed from each facility's actual inspection history

VIOLATION RECORDS

• Full violation timelines, straight from state licensing records
• Severity breakdowns, from low-risk paperwork issues to high-risk safety findings
• Source-attributed public records no facility can pay to change or remove them

FOLLOW & GET ALERTS

• Follow the daycares you're considering (or the one your child attends)
• Get a notification when a new violation appears on a followed daycare's record
• Your shortlist, synced with your free DaycareAlert.com account

TOURS & WAITLISTS

• Request a tour in a few taps
• Join a daycare's waitlist right from its profile

Our promise: DaycareAlert's safety information is never for sale. Providers can claim their listing and respond, but no payment can ever change how a facility's record appears. 

What you see is the public record.

DaycareAlert is free for parents
