Your path to opening a child care program depends on where you are starting. Wonderschool's provider assessment collects information about your situation and gives you a next step for onboarding.
You answer questions relevant to the provider-start journey. The experience saves progress as you move between pages and uses your answers to prepare the next step.
Depending on the result, the experience may offer account creation or explain that additional preparation is needed. The assessment is a starting point for support, not a final judgment about whether you can operate a child care business.
No. State licensing rules, local requirements, and required permissions still apply. A positive Wonderschool assessment result does not replace those decisions.
Use the result to identify what needs attention and what question to ask next. For example: “What should I prepare before I can move forward?” Ask separately about the support available to you, including coaching or funding, rather than assuming an assessment result includes either.
The assessment helps you prepare for the next step toward opening a program and enrolling your first child.
