Affiliate Disclosure

Effective Date: January 15, 2025
Last Updated: January 22, 2025

DaycareLocator.com participates in affiliate and referral programs that help keep the platform free for parents and caregivers. We only promote products, childcare services, and educational resources that align with our mission to help families find safe, licensed childcare.

How Affiliate Links Work

Some links throughout our website, emails, SMS alerts, and downloadable guides are affiliate links. When you click one of those links or sign up with a partner using our referral code, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Examples include:

• Amazon Associates (educational toys, classroom supplies, safety products)
• Software that helps daycares manage enrollment, billing, or wait-lists
• Childcare subsidy partners and financial planning services
• Trusted learning programs such as YMCA, Montessori resources, or STEM kits

Our Editorial Standards

• Affiliate relationships never influence daycare rankings, daycare verification results, or search ordering.
• We independently verify licensing information using provincial/state databases and government inspection feeds.
• Sponsored placements are labeled "Promoted" or "Sponsored" everywhere they appear.
• We frequently audit outbound links to make sure they still point to reputable partners.

When We Share Information

If you click an affiliate link, the partner may collect limited device or referral data to confirm that DaycareLocator sent the visit. We do not share personal information such as inquiry messages, saved favorites, or subsidy calculations without your explicit consent.

Questions?

Please email disclosures@daycarelocator.com if you have questions about a specific link or would like to report a concern. Transparency is critical to maintaining trust with families and daycare providers. We update this disclosure whenever we add new partners or make material changes to our monetization strategy.
