Frequently Asked Questions
🤔 What is Daycare Insider?
We are a community-driven platform where parents share real, practical advice about getting into daycares and preschools. Think of it like Glassdoor for childcare — a place where you can learn about application processes, waitlist strategies, and insider tips from others who’ve been through it.
đź“ť How do I access the tips and information on Daycare Insider?
To unlock the full database of tips and tricks, all we ask is that you share your own tip or experience about a daycare or preschool you’ve been through. It could be anything from the application process to waitlist hacks to “what I wish I knew.” Once submitted, you’ll get access to all the shared insights from other parents.
đź“… How long will it take for my tip to be published?
We review all submissions to make sure the tips are helpful and relevant. Generally, your tip will be live within 48 hours, but it could take a bit longer during busy periods.
đź’° Is there any cost to use Daycare Insider?
Nope! Daycare Insider is completely free to use for parents. We only ask that you contribute a tip to unlock full access to the database. After that, feel free to browse as much as you’d like!
🤷 What if I don’t have any tips to share right now?
That’s okay! We know everyone’s experience is different, and maybe you’re just starting your daycare journey. We’d appreciate you sharing whatever you know, even if its just hear say, it could be a difference maker in someone elses childcare journey.
🏫 How do I find the daycare I want to leave a tip for?
You can easily search for a daycare by name or location on our search page. If the daycare or preschool you want to leave a tip for isn’t listed, you can add it to the system so others can benefit from your experience too.
đź’ˇ Can I submit multiple tips for different daycares?
Yes! We welcome any tips or advice you have for any facilities you’ve experienced. The more insights, the better — after all, every parent’s journey is unique!
📢 What if I have feedback or suggestions to improve Daycare Insider?
We’re always looking to make things better! If you have any ideas on how we can improve the site, features you'd like to see, or ways to make the process smoother, please let us know. Your feedback is what helps us grow and become more useful to parents like you.
🛠️ How do I report a problem with a tip or facility listing?

🏆 Why should I share my tip?
Your experience might be exactly what another parent needs to hear. Whether it’s about navigating the waitlist, timing your application, or what worked during that frustrating “interview” process — your tip can save someone hours of research (and a lot of headaches). Plus, by contributing, you help create a supportive, parent-powered community.
