Child care

Setting the Stage at an Early Age

As spending and enrollment continue to increase in this sector, we’re keeping pace by growing our U.S. child care database to include licensed child care centers and daycares, preschools, and home-based child care centers and Head Start programs that are not associated with schools. They provide adult supervision for infants and children too young for school; school-aged children lacking before- or after-school programs; or summer programs for children of all ages.

Why are these child care centers significant? Purchasing power.

Since the federal government recognizes them as an opportunity to prepare our nation's children for school, they play a critical role in providing funding. Typical purchases include learning materials, safety and security products, personal protective equipment, office supplies, and cleaning supplies and services, as well as professional development and training.

Like other care industries, the child care market is also experiencing a period of transformation, with school technology vendors forming new partnerships based on the benefits of interactive and virtual technology in the classroom for all ages.

Multifaceted Compilation – The Power of Many

Data is only as useful as it is accurate. That’s why we continuously update our child care data throughout the year through phone verification, institution websites and state licensing files. From preschool to summer programs, our dedicated research team works daily in real time to verify the quality and accuracy of MCH's list of child care centers. Additional updates are captured through client feedback and monthly processes via USPS-approved CASS, LACS and National Change of Address systems. We believe the more sources, the better. 

MCH Email – Where Quality Meets Quantity

MCH email addresses are CAN-SPAM compliant and verified through multiple processes as well as proprietary methodologies. That means our validation processes remove invalid emails to give you higher-quality emails for in-house use or MCH deployments.
