What Cubby Road does

Cubby Road helps parents and guardians find preschool, daycare, and early-childhood program options in the United States. We share information, educational guides, and matching support based on what a parent or guardian tells us they are looking for.

We are not a preschool, daycare, school, or licensed childcare provider. We do not run programs, care for children, make enrollment decisions, or inspect every program listed or discussed on our site.

If you use our site or get matched, free, you agree to use Cubby Road only for personal, lawful purposes related to your search.

• We help connect families with options
• We do not admit children into programs
• We do not guarantee that a program has space, accepts your child, or fits your family's needs

No admission, safety, or quality guarantees

Choosing childcare is an important decision. We try to provide helpful information, but information can change. A program may change its schedule, tuition, age groups, language support, waitlist, or license status at any time.

For that reason, Cubby Road does not guarantee admission, a spot, pricing, availability, safety, staff quality, curriculum, transportation, or any other result. Whether a program is a good fit depends on many things.

Before you decide, visit in person if you can. Ask questions, read the contract carefully, and verify the state license yourself. Our guides like how to check a preschool license and questions to ask on a tour can help.

Who can use the site

This site is for parents, guardians, and other adults helping with a childcare search. By using Cubby Road, you are saying the information you give us is yours to share and is truthful to the best of your knowledge.

Please do not use this site in a way that breaks the law, harms other people, copies our content without permission, or tries to interfere with the website. That includes sending spam, pretending to be someone else, or trying to access areas that are not meant for you.

If you need help understanding how the service works, you can review how it works or contact us.

What information you share with us

When you contact Cubby Road or ask to get matched, we collect the parent or guardian's contact information and details about what they are looking for, such as preferred location, schedule, budget range, and program type. We use that information to respond and try to match you with possible options.

Please do not send sensitive child information through forms unless we clearly ask for it in a secure and appropriate way, which we usually do not. Our service is built around the parent or guardian's search needs, not around collecting a child's personal records.

To learn more about how we use information, read our Privacy Policy.

• Examples of what you may share: your name, phone number, email, ZIP code, preferred language, and the kind of care you want

Content on the site

The information on Cubby Road is for general education and search support. This includes pages about programs, costs, and guides for families. It is not legal advice, medical advice, immigration advice, or a promise about any specific program.

We work to keep our content useful and clear, but mistakes can happen. Some details may be out of date or may not apply in your state or city. You are responsible for checking current facts directly with the program and with your state licensing agency.

You may read and use our content for your own family search. Please do not copy, republish, or use our content for commercial purposes without permission.

Links to programs and other websites

Cubby Road may mention or link to third-party websites, programs, or services. Those sites and programs are not controlled by Cubby Road. If you click a link or contact a program, their own terms, policies, and decisions will apply.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, actions, or claims of third-party websites or childcare programs. Always review a program carefully, take a tour, and verify the state license yourself before making a decision.

Helpful starting points include the preschool tour checklist and how to choose a preschool.

Changes, limits, and how to reach us

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. When we do, the new version will apply when it is posted on this page. If you keep using the site after changes are posted, that means you accept the updated terms.

Cubby Road may change, pause, or stop parts of the website or matching service at any time. We are not responsible for losses that result from using, or being unable to use, the site or information on it.
