Parents Find You

When parents search Google for childcare in their area, our pages show up and your listing is right there.

2

You Enroll Them

No middleman between you and the family. Parents who find childcare through search are ready to visit and enroll.

You opened a childcare center to help kids, not run Google Ads.

Most providers fill spots through word-of-mouth and hope. The ones who try online marketing end up paying Yelp $300-$1,000 a month for ads, or spending $1,500+ a month on Google Ads just to show up in search results. Care.com charges providers to list and then sends them nanny-seekers, not parents looking for daycare centers.

Kid Care Finder costs $49 a month for a Featured listing. That's it. Every parent inquiry for your service type in your town goes directly to you. One new enrollment covers the cost for years.

  3. Click "Claim This Listing" at the bottom of the page
  4. Verify your email, then update your info and choose whether to upgrade to Featured

What makes Kid Care Finder different

Every provider is license-verified

We pull licensing data directly from NY OCFS and CT OEC. Parents see your license number, status, and verification date. That kind of transparency builds trust before they even call.

No per-lead fees, ever

Unlike platforms that charge $15-$80 per lead and send the same inquiry to five competitors, your Featured listing costs $49/month flat. Every inquiry for your service and town goes to you alone.

Built for centers and family daycares

Care.com is a nanny marketplace. Yelp is a restaurant review site. We built Kid Care Finder specifically for licensed daycare centers, preschools, after-school programs, and family daycare providers.

Parents contact you directly

No platform in the middle taking a cut. Parents see your phone number and reach out to you. Featured providers also get inquiry forms delivered straight to their inbox with the parent's name, phone, and care needs.

Common Questions

Is there really a free listing?
Yes. Every provider gets a basic listing at no cost. Your name, phone number, license status, and any Google reviews show up on every relevant page. Featured listings ($49/month) add exclusive lead delivery, top placement, a Featured badge, website link, photos, and a custom description.
How do parents find me?
We have individual pages for every childcare type and town across Westchester, Fairfield, Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Orange counties. When a parent searches Google for something like "daycare in White Plains" or "preschool near Stamford," our pages come up and your listing is on them.
How are leads delivered?
When a parent visits your page and fills out an inquiry, Featured providers get their full contact info by email within minutes: name, phone number, childcare needs, and timeline. You call them directly. Nobody else gets that same inquiry.
How is this different from Care.com?
Care.com is built for nannies and babysitters, not childcare centers. They were also fined $8.5 million by the FTC in 2024 for inflating job listings and misrepresenting earnings. We only list licensed providers, and our pricing is simple: free to list, $49/month for Featured. No hidden fees.
How does this compare to Yelp or Google Ads?
Yelp Ads cost $300-$1,000 per month for childcare providers, and the platform has been accused of suppressing positive reviews for non-advertisers. Google Ads typically cost $1,250-$2,500 per month for meaningful visibility. Kid Care Finder is $49/month, and you get exclusive placement for your service and town.
Where does the licensing data come from?
We pull directly from the NY Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) and the CT Office of Early Childhood (OEC). Every listing shows the provider's license number, license type, and verification date. We update this data regularly.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard anytime. Your Featured status stays active through the end of your billing period. No cancellation fees, no phone calls, no hassle.
