Find your program
Search by program name, ZIP code, or DCF license ID.
We list licensed programs from the Florida DCF public provider list for Pinellas and Hillsborough. Can’t find yours? Email cribtoclass@mail.grokbot.com.
Not a DCF-licensed program? Camps, clubs & private schools
Camps, clubs, and private schools aren’t on the DCF list, so they can’t be found by the search above. Tell us about your program and we’ll check it by hand before anything is listed or changed. We don’t send anything automatically.
Public or charter school? Public and charter schools are listed from the Florida Department of Education directory. They’re run by the school district, so they can’t be claimed here. Spot something wrong? Email cribtoclass@mail.grokbot.com and we’ll fix it.
Why claim
Help the families who are already looking
Right now most listings say “Openings unknown.” A claimed listing tells parents who has room before they pick up the phone.
Show openings by age group
Infant, toddler, 2s, 3s, VPK, and school-age. Mark each one as open now, open by a date, waitlist, or full.

A confirmed date builds trust
Parents see the day you last confirmed your openings. The badge turns gray after 30 days, so a fresh one stands out.

Provider FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. Your basic listing, claiming it, and updating your openings cost nothing, now and later. Premium ($19.99/month or $199.90/year) is an optional upgrade, coming soon. You never need it to be listed or to post openings.
Where does my information come from?
From the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) public list of licensed child care providers: name, program type, address, phone, capacity, and designations like Gold Seal and VPK. If something in that record is wrong, update it with DCF, and our next refresh will pick it up. You can also email us.
Do you rate or review providers?
No. We don’t inspect, rate, rank, or endorse anyone. Each listing links to your official DCF inspection records so parents can read them at the source.
I run a family child care home. Can I hide my home address?
Yes. Family child care homes show only the ZIP code by default. Your street address appears only if you choose to show it when you update your listing, and you can change that anytime.
Who can claim a listing?
The owner, the director, or staff authorized to update the program’s information. We check details against the public DCF record and send the link to the program’s business email or phone.
How do I stop emails?
Check-in emails are opt-in, and every one has a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also email cribtoclass@mail.grokbot.com Unsubscribing never removes your free listing.
