Widely Used Child Care Referral Websites

[jenh171]

I've posted my child care business on care.com, but does anyone know of any other sites that are widely used/well known sources for child care providers to post their services?

This site is a good one (VERY resonably priced I might add), also check to see if your area has a Childcare Referral Service. I get alot of calls from mine..it is a "service" of the state.

Most of mine are word of mouth, but occasionally DFACS calls me with a special need, emergency care/request for a difficult to place client as well. Give them a call and let them know you have openings.. especialy if you have an infant spot available.

does daycare.com require one to be licensed in order to list one's home-based child care here?

Daycare.com is Ranked #1 on Google, Bing and Yahoo when searching for the word "daycare". https://daycare.com/php/start_new_signup.php

That's a good question ... I don't think so but you'd have to follow your states and area's guidelines I'm assuming. For example in CA you can't advertise your home daycare unless you're licensed because in CA you are required to be licensed if you care for more than one families children. You also have to post your license number on any advertising. I'm sure it varies from state to state and area to area so if you're not required to be licensed or registered then you shouldn't have a problem.
