Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you have a specific need for child care or education under everyday circumstances, this service is for you. If your search involves multiple categories, locations, or schedules, or calls for wider comparisons, the Comprehensive Brief may be a better fit.

  • Specific categories include licensed child care centers, family child care homes, Montessori or Language Immersion programs, private schools, public or charter schools, before and after school care programs, boarding schools, or neurodiversity schools and programs.

  • Your brief includes up to 5 vetted options, important details for each, and concise notes to help you understand your choices. Details may include location or service area, availability, pricing, deadlines, and contact instructions.

  • The Core Brief is designed for one primary search category. However, many families are searching for care or school options for more than one child at the same time, or wanting to compare across provider types. In those cases, an additional category can be included for an added fee depending on your needs.

  • If you’re interested in exploring options yourself, feel free to check the resources section for articles you may find helpful. If you are looking to preserve hours of your time and want the research handled with care and expertise - TPC may be a good fit for you.
