US Child Care License Emails · Official Rosters

Export licensed child care providers from official state licensing tables: facility name, published email, phone where the state lists it, capacity, county.

No login. No API key. Not Google Maps.

Emails and phones only when the state publishes them — never invented, never guessed from a website.

Today the Actor covers Georgia, Pennsylvania, Washington, Texas, and Florida (~30k licensed rows). More states are added only when the public roster includes a mailbox.

State	Roster	Email	Phone
Georgia (DECAL)	~4.5k	Nearly every row	Nearly every row
Pennsylvania (OCDEL)	~7.5k	~90%	~95%
Washington (DCYF)	~2.8k	Every licensed row	Not published
Texas (HHSC)	~15k	~57%	~99%
Florida (DCF CARES)	Public search	When the provider opted in	When listed

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Edtech / curriculum / food program vendor	Licensed centers with a mailbox	Georgia or Pennsylvania · contacts on
Insurance / workers-comp	Territory list with a director name	One county · 20 rows, then raise Max
Agency / SDR	One row per facility in the CRM	Dataset view Outreach CRM
Market research	Count licensed operations	All five states · contacts optional

What you get by default: facility name, published email, phone when the state lists it, city, county, capacity. Washington has no public phone on the roster — email only.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Keep Georgia (email + phone) or pick Pennsylvania / Washington for denser mailboxes, then add Texas / Florida for volume.
3. Leave Only rows with email or phone on for a first CRM export.
4. Click Start.
5. Download JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML — views Overview or Outreach CRM.

Max providers = 0 → no Actor-side ceiling. Free plan: 20 / run.

What it extracts

Category	Fields
Identity	facilityName, contactName, licenseNumber, facilityType
Contact	contactEmail, contactPhone, website
Location	address, city, stateCode, postalCode, county
License	licenseStatus, capacity, agesServed, acceptsSubsidy

Empty source fields stay empty. We do not invent mailboxes. Download JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Dataset tab.

How it works

1. Read the public licensing table for each state you picked (Georgia first when you choose all five — highest email fill).
2. Copy facility, contact, email, phone, capacity and county when they are printed.
3. Skip government and placeholder mailboxes.
4. Write one row as soon as it matches your filters — the Dataset fills during the run.

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
states	array	["GA"] Try	GA, PA, WA, TX, FL, or ALL (all five, email-first order).
county	string	empty	Optional. Harris, Harris County, and mixed case all match.
onlyWithContact	boolean	false (true in Try)	Keep only rows with a published email or phone.
maxItems	integer	20	0 = no numerical cap. Free plan: 20 / run.

{ "states": ["GA"], "onlyWithContact": true, "maxItems": 20 }

{ "states": ["PA"], "county": "Allegheny", "onlyWithContact": true, "maxItems": 20 }

Output example

{
  "providerKey": "PA-100000522-0087",
  "facilityName": "Dr Gertrude A Barber Center-Child Care",
  "contactName": "DR GERTRUDE A BARBER CENTER INC",
  "contactEmail": "contracting@barberni.org",
  "contactPhone": "(814) 453-7661",
  "city": "ERIE",
  "stateCode": "PA",
  "county": "Erie",
  "capacity": 25
}

Washington rows look the same without contactPhone — the state does not publish it.

How much does it cost to scrape child care licenses?

Pay-per-event. List price includes a $0.00005 start. FREE pays the most; Gold+ less. Georgia / Pennsylvania / Washington / Texas dumps usually finish in under a minute for a 20-row Try. A full Pennsylvania export (~7.5k) is typically a few minutes. Florida uses the public CARES search and can take longer.

Scenario	FREE	Bronze	Silver	Gold
20 providers with email	~$0.08	~$0.07	~$0.06	~$0.05
20 providers with phone	~$0.05	~$0.04	~$0.04	~$0.03

Free Apify plan: 20 providers per run. Paid plans follow your max charge.

Is it legal to scrape child care licenses?

This Actor copies data the states publish on public licensing tables and searches. Names, emails and phones are personal data — your use must comply with GDPR, CAN-SPAM, TCPA and any rules that apply to you. This is not legal advice. See Apify on the legality of web scraping.

Independent tool. Not affiliated with Georgia DECAL, Pennsylvania DHS, Washington DCYF, Texas HHSC or Florida DCF.

Local development

cd us-childcare-license-leads
npm install
cp .actor/INPUT.json storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json
apify run --purge

Use apify run (not npm start). Root input.json is merged locally; CLI KV input wins on key collision. Local storage/ is not synced to Apify Console.

npm test runs mapper and county tests (no network).

FAQ

Do you invent emails? No. A mailbox appears only when the licensing table prints one.

Why no California or New York? Those public rosters do not include a statewide email field. We do not sell a phone-only SKU as “emails”.

Why no phone on Washington rows? DCYF publishes the contact email, not a phone. Filter Only rows with email or phone still keeps WA rows.

Is this the whole United States? No. Five states with a public mailbox on the register. We add a state when that condition is met.

Will a 20-row Try finish quickly? Yes for Georgia, Pennsylvania, Washington, or Texas. Florida can be slower.

Do I need an API key? No.
