I'm surprised why people don't share official websites to find childcare.

Try the Official website from Maryland to find child care. They work with the Maryland State Department of Education. They only show licensed Family Child care home(daycares) and Centers.

Someone who needs infant care immediately needs to explore every possible avenue, so yes, they should contact providers on the list from the state. But an advantage of MMM is that they have a network of home daycares and will be able to tell you which (if any) have openings and arrange visits, without you having to call all of them. So it cuts a bit of the work out (for providers too). It's not some shady company, they've been around for a long time and I know folks who have used them.

I prefer to go to Maryland Network Locate to find childcare.
It's legal, shows updated Family Child care homes and works with Maryland State Department of Education

Is Monday moms using unlicensed daycares or something? Otherwise I’m not sure what you mean by implying it’s not legal.

Both are good resources for OP, it’s not like she’s looking for a spot for a baby 9 months from now, she needs one right now. Call everyone and everywhere OP.

Check the license's number

Screened Providers
All of our providers in the program have had at least:
extensive interviewing with the Monday Morning Moms staff
letters of reference on file
physician certification of good health
their homes inspected for compliance with fire, health and safety standards

I disliked Monday Morning Moms because their backup care option is a different daycare altogether, at a different home, and because the provider I used was always, ALWAYS over capacity and MMM said that she "worked better" with more kids in her care.

I also hate the name, which reinforces the notion that childcare is a women's issue.

If they used licensed daycares why wouldn't that be clearly spelled out? They appear to side step the answer. IF they are not using licensed in home daycare then they are running a shady operation and the daycares would be illegal.

Maryland Locate ONLY uses legal, licensed care. There are other sites like weecare and care.com but they all pull information from the same places.

Burtonsville: try Wee Friends
Northern Silver Spring: try Maria Galeas (I highly recommend her) at Noah's Ark Family Day Care.

My kids are older now so I don't know if either place has openings.

Checkccmd has inspection reports and contact info for licensed daycares, helps weed out any egregious ones to look at those first. Searchable by city or zip code.

That's true. The weecare takes information from the Maryland Network Locate. I think weecare charges parents. My provider said weecare took her info and made a page of her daycare business and they keep telling her there's families who are interested and needs to join weecare.
The provider said no thanks. She doesn't like when apps takes her information from public official websites like the Maryland Network LOCATE.


Parents, just go to Maryland Network Locate website to find childcare. It's free and legal
