CheckedCare

Use this when the user names a child care center, preschool or family child care home (by name, license number, or name and city) in a covered US state and wants its official state licensing or inspection record. Returns up to 10 matching facilities with street, ZIP and license number so the right one can be confirmed, plus a record_key for get_facility_record. Do not use it for general child care advice, to rank or recommend facilities, or for information about individual people.

Use this when one specific facility is identified (a record_key slug from find_facility, or a license number the user gave) and the user wants its license status, published inspection counts or the agency's inspection findings. Returns the record with verbatim findings, the status-as-of date, the agency's official record link and the CheckedCare page URL. Do not use it to grade, rank or compare facilities, or to look up staff, children or any other individual.
