Terms of Use

Daycarecostmap is a free, independent childcare-cost reference published by Urban Algorithm LLC. By using the site you agree to these plain terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

The tools are free and provided as-is

Every tool on this site is free to use, with no account, no signup, and no payment. The tools are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We work to keep them accurate and available, but we do not guarantee they will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for a particular purpose.

Prices are estimates, not quotes or guarantees

Every price figure on this site is a statewide average drawn from a named, dated primary source (principally Child Care Aware of America's annual Price of Care survey), not a quote from any specific provider and not a guarantee of what you will pay. Actual prices vary by provider, and change over time between survey updates. Always confirm current pricing directly with any provider you are considering.

Independence

Daycarecostmap is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Child Care Aware of America, the U.S. Census Bureau, the College Board, the Internal Revenue Service, or any childcare provider named or linked on this site. We cite these sources for the facts and figures they publish, and nothing more.

Acceptable use

Use this site for lawful, personal, informational purposes. Do not attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it at a volume that degrades service for others, or misrepresent data from this site as your own original research without attribution.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Urban Algorithm LLC is not liable for any decision made based on information from this site, including a childcare, budgeting, or tax decision. This site does not provide financial, tax, or legal advice; consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
