Child Safety

LittleNest AI is a software platform. We are not a regulator, inspector, or guarantor of any daycare's safety or quality. Daycare licensing, inspection, and enforcement are handled by provincial and territorial authorities. Always verify a daycare's licensing status directly through your provincial childcare authority before enrolling.

• We do not collect or store personal information about children directly.
• Inquiry forms ask only for the child's age range — not name, birthdate, or photo.
• Our AI documentation features instruct educators not to enter identifiable child information.
• Any incidental child information shared in inquiry messages is forwarded only to the daycare contacted and is not used for any other purpose.

• Maintain valid licensing in your province or territory.
• Keep your profile information accurate, including licensing details.
• Never use LittleNest AI to share photos or identifiable information about children without explicit, informed consent from their parent or guardian.
• Follow your provincial duty-to-report obligations.

Every adult in Canada has a legal duty to report suspected child abuse or neglect. If you suspect a child is at risk, contact your local children's aid society or police immediately. Do not use LittleNest AI for this — we are not equipped to respond to emergencies.

• Ontario: Children's Aid Society (locate your local society at oacas.org). To report concerns: 1-855-CHILDREN.
• British Columbia: Helpline for Children — 310-1234 (no area code needed).
• Alberta: Child Abuse Hotline — 1-800-387-KIDS (5437).
• Quebec: Directeur de la protection de la jeunesse (DPJ) — see your region.
• Other provinces and territories: contact your local child protection or child welfare authority — every province and territory has a designated intake line.
• Kids Help Phone (national, for children): 1-800-668-6868 or text CONNECT to 686868.

If you believe a daycare listed on LittleNest AI is operating without a valid license, misrepresenting itself, or otherwise unsafe, please email safety@littlenestfinder.com. We review every report and will remove listings that violate our policies. Serious concerns should also be reported to your provincial licensing authority.
