Welcome to Care About Childcare
Parents: Search for Quality Care
Your search for quality care just got easier.
Our ratings mean more
In addition to searching for care by location, cost and type, you can search based on a program’s licensing record and their Child Care Quality System (CCQS) rating. CCQS ratings help you make informed choices and find high quality-rated care near you.
So how do programs receive a CCQS rating? Evaluators visit child care providers and review their program based on health and safety, learning environment, interactions, and more. This process also includes verification of staff professional development, the program’s family engagement efforts and best practices.
