Provider Update Center

Keep your childcare profile accurate

Report openings, hours, ages, programs, services, contact details, and business links. Every submission is reviewed before anything changes publicly.

A safer update workflow

Fresh information without instant public edits

The system records the source, schedules an optional availability reminder, and sends every material change through review.

01

Submit

Use authorized business contact information and report only facts you can confirm.

02

Receipt

The request is saved and the provider receives a reference number by email.

03

Review

Licensing identity, source, privacy, and conflicts are checked before publication.

04

Reconfirm

Availability expires after 10 days; opted-in providers receive a reminder on day nine.

Never published automatically

Submissions enter an administrative queue. Payment and sponsorship never bypass review.

Home addresses stay protected

Family child care homes should submit only a city or neighborhood description for public display.

Availability stays fresh

Opening reports receive a 10-day expiration and can be renewed with another quick submission.
