What Cubby Road does

Cubby Road helps families look for programs and get matched, free. We share options based on what a parent or guardian is looking for, such as location, schedule, language support, and budget.

We do not run classrooms, care for children, accept enrollments, or make admissions decisions. Programs make their own rules about openings, waitlists, prices, hours, and who they accept.

If you want to learn more about our process, visit How it works or Get matched.

• We are a guide and matching service
• We are not a school, daycare center, or home daycare
• Using Cubby Road is free for families

What we do not promise

We cannot promise that a program has an open spot for your child. Openings can change fast, and many programs use waitlists.

We also cannot promise admission, prices, transportation, language support, or program quality. These details depend on each program, the time of year, and local rules.

The best next step is to contact the program, ask questions, and visit in person. Our guides on preschool waitlists and how to apply to preschool may help.

• No guarantee of a spot
• No guarantee of admission
• No guarantee of cost, schedule, safety, or quality

Always visit and verify the license yourself

Before you choose a program, go in person if you can. A visit helps you see the space, meet staff, and decide if it feels right for your family.

You should also verify the program's state license yourself. A state license means the program is listed with the state agency that oversees child care or early education. Rules are different in each state, so do not rely only on a website listing or a phone conversation.

Use our preschool tour checklist, questions to ask on a tour, and how to check a preschool license guides before you enroll.

• Visit in person
• Ask to see current program details
• Verify the state license yourself before enrolling

Information on our site may change

We try to keep information helpful and current, but details can change at any time. A program may update tuition, hours, ages served, curriculum, or contact information without notice.

For example, a program listed as part-time may later offer full-time care, or a bilingual classroom may have different language support in a new school year. That is why parents should confirm all details directly with the program.

General information on pages like Programs, Costs, and our Guides is for education only. It is not legal, medical, or licensing advice.

• Prices may change
• Open spots may change
• Policies and age groups may change

What contact information we use

To help with a match, we collect a parent or guardian's contact information and what they are looking for. For example, you might share your phone number, email, neighborhood, preferred schedule, or the type of program you want.

We do not need private information about a child in order to start matching. Please review our Privacy Policy and Terms for more details.

If you have questions about what to share, you can contact us.

• We collect parent or guardian contact details
• We collect the family's program preferences
• You can read more in our privacy and terms pages

You are the final decision-maker

Cubby Road can help you save time and find options, but your family makes the final choice. One family may care most about cost. Another may care most about home-language support, location, or hours.

A good fit depends on your child care needs, your budget, and what you see during your own research and tour. If you want help comparing options, our guides on how to choose a preschool, preschool vs. daycare, and help paying for preschool can help.

If you are ready to start, you can get matched, free.
