Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A public-record directory for licensed child-care providers, collecting inspection histories, violations, enforcement actions, and license status.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The directory says it copies inspection material from state licensing agencies and preserves the agency’s own severity labels rather than adding an in-house score. Its stated coverage is currently uneven: Texas is listed with 13,003 providers, while the page reports no other published states and no states in preparation. A correction process is offered, with submissions described as free and reviewed within five business days.
