Important to Know:
-
All search options use the same database but results may vary.
-
Think Small does not license, endorse, inspect, or recommend any early childhood program.
-
A licensed child care program has met minimal standards. A license does not guarantee high-quality care.
-
The information about each program is self-reported, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.
