Family Search

Family Search

Award-winning, map-based search tool that connects families with Early Care and Education providers

Empower families to find and enroll in care quickly

Giving families access to information about all the providers in their area allows them to find, choose, and enroll in child care that meets their needs.

  • Display real-time openings to families

    Help families find available care faster by allowing providers to report openings that are immediately visible to families.

  • Free advertising for care providers

    Many providers don’t have the time or capacity to maintain a website. We provide a user-friendly way to advertise to families at no cost to providers.

  • Report on supply and demand of care

    Using family search data such as age of care needed and specialized care options, your team can accurately report on the demand of care in your community. With real-time openings you can access supply of care metrics.
