About DaycarePath
We believe every parent deserves access to clear, honest, and helpful information when making one of the most important decisions of their child's early years.
Our Mission
Finding quality childcare is one of the most important—and often most stressful—decisions parents face. The process can feel overwhelming: Where do you even start? How do you know what to look for? How much should you expect to pay?
We created DaycarePath to answer these questions and more. Our mission is simple: provide the most comprehensive, honest, and helpful daycare resources available—completely free.
We don't take payments from daycares to feature them, and we don't hide information behind paywalls. Every guide, calculator, and directory listing is available to every parent, whether you're searching for care in a major city or a small town.
What We Offer
In-Depth Guides
Comprehensive articles covering everything from choosing a daycare to preparing your child for their first day.
Free Calculators
Interactive tools to help you estimate costs, compare options, and make informed financial decisions.
Daycare Directory
A searchable database of licensed daycares across all 50 states, with information on programs, costs, and contact details.
Our Values
Parent-First
Everything we create is designed with busy parents in mind. We focus on what actually helps, not what looks impressive. Clear, actionable, no fluff.
Honest & Transparent
We don't make up statistics or fake testimonials. When we cite data, we source it. When we don't know something, we say so. Trust is earned.
Always Free
Our guides, calculators, and directory are free to use. We believe access to good information shouldn't depend on ability to pay.
How We Keep the Lights On
Transparency matters to us, so here's how DaycarePath sustains itself:
- Advertising: We display ads on our site through Google AdSense. These ads help cover our operating costs.
- Affiliate partnerships: Some links on our site may earn us a commission if you make a purchase. We only recommend products we believe in, and affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content.
What we don't do: accept payment from daycares to feature them in our directory or influence our recommendations. Our content is independent.
