FAQ

Common questions before you start

Do parents need an account before searching?

No. Parents can search and compare publicly listed daycares first, then sign in when submitting a waitlist request.

Can unclaimed daycares receive requests?

Yes. Requests to unclaimed daycares are recorded as Inquired and can be managed after claim approval.

How does this help daycare teams?

Daycare teams sort the waitlist, create seat openings, send invitations to apply and message families one to one from one workspace. Paid plans add the classroom app, newsletters, family billing, Documentation Studio with AI and a daycare website.

How do I follow my waitlist requests?

Your parent account lists every request with its status, from Inquired to Invited and Accepted. Once the daycare confirms your inquiry you can message it from the request, and when it invites you to apply you accept or decline there.

I'm a teacher. What can I do here?

One teacher account opens your classroom workspace and Careers, where you browse jobs and follow your applications.

How do I claim my daycare on CareOpenings?

Find your daycare and send a claim with your business contact details and proof that you own or manage it. After approval, a one-time registration invite code goes to your business email so you can create the daycare account.

Is there a free plan for daycares?

Yes. The Free plan covers the waitlist, inquiries, school tours, invitations to apply, one-to-one messages with families and job posts. Classroom tools, newsletters, billing, the website builder and Documentation Studio with AI come with the Single and Multi Classroom plans.

Can I put CareOpenings on my Home Screen?

Yes. CareOpenings installs straight from your browser, with no App Store or Google Play download. The install guide shows the steps for iPhone, iPad, Android and computers.
