CheckedCare: Official Daycare Inspection & Licensing Records
CheckedCare makes state-published child-care licensing and inspection records searchable, with verbatim reproductions and links back to the source agencies.
Field notes
The project combines state licensing-agency data into searchable facility records while retaining the source wording and sync date. Its stated preservation method includes checksum pinning, source links, and random line-by-line checks against live portals. The visible coverage is limited to Texas and California: 14,323 facilities in Texas and 39,522 in California, with the two state datasets synced on consecutive dates. CheckedCare explicitly separates record publication from ratings and warns that agency databases may be more current.
