How this directory works

Independent, not official

Preschool Roster is an independent directory, not a government website. We are not affiliated with any state agency, and we do not issue quality ratings of our own.

Where listing details come from

Listings start from official public lists and from each provider's own website. Every listing shows its sources and the date we last checked them. We do not copy reviews or photos from other websites. If a listing shows a rating, it is the state's own Step Up To Quality rating, exactly as the state publishes it, with the date we last checked it.

How listings are ordered

Free listings are ordered by whether we have checked them against an official list and the provider's own website, then by how complete they are. Payment never changes that order.

How paid placement works

Paid placement is not open yet; no provider pays us today. Once it opens, providers can pay to appear in a separate block at the top of their city page. That block is always labeled "Featured", shows at most three providers at a time, and rotates daily when more have paid. Paying does not change any listing's details, its checks, or where it appears in the main list.

Corrections and removal

If something is wrong, or a provider wants to be removed, write to hello@preschoolroster.com. We read every message and correct verified errors.
