Have you updated your provider record on the statewide childcare database?

See below for instructions to access your record
  

Information that OYC used to gather during update calls (i.e. rates, credentials, hours, meals, vacancies, etc.) has been transferred to the new database system. 

• Your provider/program record will be searchable by parents when they access this database.  You have control over what is in your record for parents to see. 

• You can decide whether you want certain information available to parents, for example, your rates, whether or not you charge for holidays and/or sick days, have a written contract, have a registration fee,  have a fenced yard, do not have pets, and a number of other categories. 

• You have the option of changing your referral status to “no referrals”. 

• You will also track your professional development on this database and access training opportunities that are coordinated in your local areas.         

This is a valuable marketing tool for you, so be sure to utilize the database.  

Instructions to access provider record

1)  Click  to access Provider Area

2) Then type in your password and email address.  If you are first time user you can register using an email address. 

Since parents are using this statewide database to search for child care, it is really important that all licensed providers update their record!  

When you get into your record, make sure you:

1.     Make sure your email address is in your record

2.     Add your vacancy information

3.     Review your record thoroughly and change or add any other relevant information.

4.     Save your updates when complete 

Once you complete the process then you can go into your record anytime you want to make changes.  There is also a feature to add pictures to highlight your program!
