When you're searching for child care on MyChildCarePlan.org, you can save providers you're interested in to a list. This makes it easy to keep track of your top choices and their contact information — phone numbers, email addresses, and addresses — all in one place. You can also print your list or save it as a PDF.
How to Add Providers to a List
Search for child care on MyChildCarePlan.org and click View Details on a provider you're interested in.
On the provider's detail page, click the heart icon (♡) near the top of the page, then click Add to list…
If you're not logged in, you'll be prompted to sign up or log in. Select Parent / Guardian, then create an account with your email address or phone number — or log in if you already have one. Once logged in, you'll continue where you left off.
Click + Create new list and enter a name for your list (for example, "Providers Near Home"), then click Create List.
If you already have a list, select it from the dropdown to add the provider there instead.
You'll see a confirmation that the provider was added. Click Back to Providers to return to your search results and repeat for any other providers you'd like to save.
💡 Tip: You can create multiple lists to organize providers in different ways — for example, one list for providers near home and another for providers near work.
How to View and Print Your List
You can view your saved lists in two ways:
From the confirmation popup: After adding a provider, click the See [list name] link.
From your account: Go to mychildcareplan.org/account, then click the Resources tab. Your saved lists appear below the Resources section.
Once you're viewing your list:
Your list shows each saved provider with their contact information, including phone number, email address, and address (when available).
To print or save your list, click Print List at the top.
In the print dialog, choose your printer — or select Save as PDF to download the list to your device.
How to Manage Your List
Remove a provider from your list
Open your list from the Resources tab in your account.
Click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to the provider you want to remove.
Click Remove.
Add a note to a provider
Click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to the provider.
Click Create Note to add your own notes — for example, reminders about what you liked or questions to ask when you visit.
Rename or delete a list
Click Edit List at the top of your list.
Change the name in the List Name field and click Save, or click Delete List to remove the entire list.
Common Questions
Do I need an account to save providers to a list? Yes, but you don't need to create one before you start searching. Browse providers freely, and when you're ready to save one, the site will prompt you to sign up or log in.
Can I add providers from different searches to the same list? Yes. Any provider you save can be added to any of your existing lists, regardless of which search you found them in.
Can I remove a provider from my list? Yes. Open your list, click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to the provider, and click Remove.
Is there a limit to how many providers I can save? There's no strict limit, but saving a very large number of providers to a single list may cause the page to load more slowly.
