FAQs

Still have questions? Browse these frequently asked questions.

  • How do I get back to the search home page?

    If you'd like to return to the SchoolFinder start page, click on the Home button in the main menu.

  • What happened to my Favorites?

    When you save school programs to your Favorites list without creating an account, your Favorites list is only available in the browser and on the device where you originally saved them. Return to the device and browser where you created your Favorites list, click on the My Favorites list, then click on the Create Account link to save your Favorites. 

  • How many school programs can I compare at one time?

    You can compare as many school programs as you would like. The programs you select to compare will appear in the compare layout in the same order as they appeared in your search results. 

  • How does the keyword search work?

    The keyword search works like an Internet search engine. Every school program has a profile and when you search using one or more keywords, the search engine looks for your keywords in the program profiles and returns programs with matches. For example, of you are looking for programs with after school care, then search "after school care" will return programs that provide after school care.

  • Why should I create an acccount?

    When you create an account you can save your Favorites list and then access that list on any device and using any browser. Without an account you, to see your Favorites list, you must return to the same device (computer, smart phone) and browser to see your list. When you create an account, you can also save and share searches with friends and family.
