Crib to Class LLC · Last updated and effective: October 24, 2026

Crib to Class LLC ("Crib to Class," "we," "us") is a Florida limited liability company. We operate cribtoclass.com (and crib2class.com, which redirects to it). It's a free directory that helps parents and caregivers in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, Florida, find licensed child care, preschools, elementary schools, camps and clubs.

Crib to Class LLC is a separate business. It doesn't provide legal, medical, child-care or educational services, and it isn't affiliated with any government agency, school district or other business.

1. The short version

Parents can use the site without giving us any personal information. There are no parent accounts, sign-ups, cookies or ad trackers.
Your ZIP code search happens in your own browser. The ZIP and filters you enter aren't sent to us.
Providers who claim a listing give us their name, role, business email and/or phone, and their openings. We use this only to run the listing and to send check-in emails they opt into.
We don't sell personal information, and we don't share it for targeted advertising.
We don't send text messages today.

2. Who this policy covers

Visitors (parents, caregivers and anyone browsing the site).
Providers: owners, directors or authorized staff of child-care programs, camps, clubs and private schools who claim or ask to be listed.

The site is meant for adults. It isn't directed to children, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We never ask for information about your children. If you think a child has sent us personal information, email us and we'll delete it.

3. Information we collect

3a. Visitors

What	How	Notes
Search choices (category, age/grade, county, ZIP, radius, search text)	Typed into the site	Processed in your browser only. The site downloads its listing files and filters them on your device. We don't receive or store your searches.
Technical request data (IP address, browser/user-agent, the page requested, time)	Sent automatically by your browser to our hosting provider, Cloudflare	Cloudflare processes it to deliver and secure the site, and gives us aggregate traffic statistics (for example page views, visitor counts, countries and pages visited). We don't use it to identify visitors and don't keep our own visitor logs.
Fonts	Served from our own site	Fonts are self-hosted, so your browser doesn't contact Google or any other font service.
Emails you send us	When you write to [email protected]	We use them to reply and to fix listings.
Cloudflare Web Analytics	A small Cloudflare script that runs in your browser	Counts page views, the page visited, the page you came from (referrer), country, browser, device type and page-load speed. It's cookieless, uses no local storage, doesn't fingerprint you and doesn't track you across sites. We see only aggregate totals.

Cookies and similar tools: The site sets no cookies and uses no local storage, advertising pixels or cross-site trackers. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies when it detects suspicious traffic. We'll update this section if that changes.

3b. Providers

Requesting a claim link (programs on the Florida DCF list):

Your name, your role (owner, director, authorized staff or other), business email and/or business phone, and an optional message.
We check whether the phone you give matches the phone on the public DCF record.
Automatically: the time of the request, your IP address and your browser user-agent (for security and to prevent abuse).

Asking to be listed or claimed (camps, clubs and private schools not on the DCF list):

Program type, program name, city or ZIP, website (optional), your name and role, business email and/or phone, and an optional message (for example session dates or ages).
Automatically: time, IP address and browser user-agent.
Requests are reviewed by hand. Nothing is listed or changed automatically.

Claiming and updating your listing (through your private claim link):

Your name, role, business email and/or business phone.
Your confirmation that you're authorized to update the listing.
Openings by age group (for example "open now," "open by [date]," "waitlist," "full").
Private notes to Crib to Class (optional; never shown on your listing).
Email opt-in: whether you checked "Email me a short check-in link every few weeks so I can update openings. I can unsubscribe at any time." We save that wording with your choice.
Family child care homes only: whether to show your street address (the default is ZIP only) and, if you choose to show it, the street address.
Verification details: the date your link was issued and whether your phone matched the DCF record.
Automatically: time, IP address and browser user-agent.

Unsubscribing: your listing ID, the time, IP address and user-agent, so we can honor the opt-out.

3c. Information from public sources

Listings are built from public government data, not from parents:

Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) public list of licensed child-care providers: program name, type, address, phone, capacity and designations such as Gold Seal and VPK.
Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) public school directory (public, charter and private schools).
Camps and clubs: information from each program's own public website, with a source link.
Census ZIP-code and geocoding data, used to calculate approximate distances.

For family child care homes, we show the ZIP code only unless the provider claims the listing and chooses to show the street address. Family child-care home distances are approximate (ZIP area).

Inspections: We don't copy, host or display inspection reports or violation data. Each child-care listing links to the provider's official record on DCF's CARES search site, which is DCF's site and governed by DCF's policies.

4. How we use information

To publish and update provider listings and "Openings confirmed by provider on [date]" badges.
To check claim requests against the public DCF record and, if the phone you give matches it, to send you a private claim link by hand from [email protected]. If you gave only a phone number, we call the phone number DCF lists for the program. We don't send texts.
To send check-in emails to providers who opted in (about every few weeks), each with a one-click unsubscribe link.
To reply to messages and review listing requests.
To prevent fraud and abuse (for example false claims) and to keep the site secure.
Check-in emails are about openings only. They don't advertise Premium, an optional paid upgrade that's coming soon and not on sale today. If we ever email providers about Premium, those emails will identify themselves as promotional and include an unsubscribe link.
To comply with the law.

We don't use your information for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects, and we don't build advertising profiles.

5. What's public on the site

For a claimed listing, parents see the openings by age group, the date openings were confirmed, a "Claimed by provider" label and, for family child-care homes, the street address only if the provider chose to show it. Your name, role, email, phone (other than the program phone already on the public DCF record), private notes and opt-in choices are not shown.

6. How we share information

We don't sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share it only:

With service providers who run the site for us and may process data only on our behalf:
- Cloudflare, Inc.: website hosting, security, cookieless Web Analytics, and the database (Cloudflare Workers KV) that stores claims and requests.
- Our email service provider: sends and receives mail for [email protected].
- Payments, when Premium launches: a payment processor such as Stripe will collect card details directly. We won't see or store full card numbers.
When the law requires it, or to protect the rights, safety or property of users, providers, the public or Crib to Class LLC.
In a business transfer (for example a merger or sale of the business), subject to this policy.
With your permission.

Premium and future sponsored placements are advertising relationships with providers. Providers don't receive parents' personal information from us. If a future feature lets a parent message a provider, it'll do so only when the parent chooses to send a message, and we'll update this policy first.

7. How long we keep information

Data	How long
Claim-link requests (DCF programs)	Deleted automatically after 180 days (set in the code)
Listing requests (camps, clubs, private schools)	Deleted automatically after 180 days
Claimed-listing records (contact details, openings, private notes, opt-in, verification)	Deleted 1 year after the provider stops using the listing (no update through the claim link for 12 months), or within 30 days if the provider asks us to remove them sooner.
Public openings data	Until it's updated or the provider asks us to remove it. It turns gray after 30 days without an update.
Unsubscribe records	Kept as long as needed to honor the opt-out (a suppression list)
Claim links	Expire 30 days after they're issued; unsubscribe links don't expire
Emails to and from us	2 years, unless needed longer for a legal matter
Technical logs held by Cloudflare	Per Cloudflare's own retention

8. Security

We use HTTPS throughout. Claim and unsubscribe links are digitally signed so they can't be guessed or altered. Access to the stored data is limited to Crib to Class. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal information, we'll notify you as Florida law requires (section 501.171, Florida Statutes).

9. Your choices and rights

Stop check-in emails: use the one-click unsubscribe link in any email, or email us. Unsubscribing never removes your free listing.
See, correct or delete your information: email [email protected] from the business email on file (or tell us how to reach you at the program's DCF-listed phone). We'll answer within 30 days. We may need to verify that you represent the program.
Remove or correct a listing: information that comes from DCF or FLDOE has to be corrected with that agency, and our next data refresh will pick it up. We can remove a claimed listing's openings, notes and contact details on request. The basic listing built from the public DCF record stays, because it reflects public licensing data parents rely on. A family child-care home's street address stays hidden unless the provider chooses to show it.
Florida residents: we'll honor reasonable requests to access, correct or delete your personal information as described above.
We won't treat you differently for using these choices.

10. Children's privacy

The site is for adults. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we don't ask parents for information about their children. If we learn we've collected a child's information, we'll delete it.

11. Links to other sites

Listings link to DCF CARES, school-district and FLDOE pages, and providers' own websites. Their privacy practices are their own. We're not responsible for them.

12. Changes to this policy

We'll post any change here and update the "Last updated" date. If a change materially affects how we use information we already have, we'll give notice on the site and, for providers who opted in to email, by email before it takes effect.
