Terms of Use

Last updated October 9, 2026 · Version 2026-10-draft

Draft placeholder. The sections below outline what the final terms need to cover.

Draft — not yet legal advice or final terms. This page is a placeholder that has not been reviewed by counsel. Bracketed items marked [OWNER TO CONFIRM] are facts the site owner still has to supply. Do not rely on this text as final.

About this site

DaycareNearMe is a directory of licensed childcare providers built from public state licensing records. Provider details, licensing status and inspection information come from those records and may be incomplete or out of date. Always confirm details with the provider and your state licensing agency.

Reviews are opinions, not inspection records

Reviews written by users, if and when they are published, are individual opinions. They are separate from, and are not a substitute for, official state inspection records. We do not verify the statements in reviews.

Who may write a review

  • You must be 18 or older.
  • You must be describing your own, first-hand experience.
  • You must be truthful and have no conflict of interest. Reviews by the provider's owners, staff or family, or by anyone paid or rewarded for a review, are not allowed.

License to your content

[OWNER TO CONFIRM: counsel to draft the final license wording] Draft intent: by submitting a review you grant DaycareNearMe a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, display, excerpt and reproduce it, and to create AI-generated summaries and aggregate statistics from it. You keep ownership of what you write.

No gag clauses

Nothing in these terms restricts anyone from posting an honest review, and we will not use these terms to penalize a reviewer for a truthful, lawful review.

Reporting content and takedown requests

To report a review or ask for removal, contact [OWNER TO CONFIRM: reporting email or form]. What we remove, and why, is explained in the Review Guidelines.

You are responsible for activity on your account. Account deletion and data export are described in the Privacy Policy.
