What types of childcare facilities are listed?

Three types of licensed childcare appear here: day care centers (larger facilities with multiple staff), day care homes (small home-based care for up to 12 children), and group day care homes (home-based care for up to 16 children with an assistant). All are licensed and inspected by the state.

How are childcare facilities licensed and inspected?

Each state's licensing agency inspects and licenses childcare facilities. Inspections cover health and safety standards, staff qualifications, child-to-staff ratios, and facility conditions. Inspection reports are public record.

Why does this page show providers outside my town?

The search includes providers within a 10-mile radius because many families use childcare near their workplace or along their commute, not just in their home town. You can filter by distance to focus on closer options.
