NAFCC does not provide telephone numbers for accredited child care providers for two primary reasons, both are for the safety of children.

1. Child care providers may choose to unlist their telephone numbers in an effort to make it difficult for predators to find the location of where children are.


2. Child care providers who are accredited remain so as long as their license is in good standing. In rare cases a provider may lose their license to provide care in their state and NAFCC may not be notified. We want to make sure that parents verify the standing of any provider who will care for children.
