Why Do I See an Error in My Provider Account?

Are you having trouble accessing your provider account?

Updated this week

Are you seeing this error message?

"An error has occurred. Please refresh your browser. If you still see this page, please contact [email protected]"

This error typically appears when there's an issue with how your account was set up. This can happen if:

  • You signed up on the wrong registration page (for example, registering as a prospective provider when you're actually an established provider)

  • You haven't completed all the required verification steps for your provider account

What Your Account Should Look Like

For Established Providers

When your account is properly set up, you should see the provider portal with these features:

  • Ability to update your profile information

  • Options to upload and update photos

  • Access to view your account information

For Prospective Providers

When your account is properly set up, you should see a detailed checklist called "Steps to Becoming a Licensed Child Care Provider":

How to Fix Access Issues

For Licensed Providers - Complete Your Profile Claiming:

  1. Visit your program's public profile page on MyChildCarePlan.org

  2. Search using your business name or license number

  3. Look for "Unclaimed" message above your program name

  4. Click "click here" to complete the connection process

  5. Login with the same account you created (if it is not yet logged in)

  6. Follow the verification steps (phone or email code)

  7. You should then see your provider dashboard
