Daycares by City

California has licensed childcare facilities in cities and communities of every size — from major metro areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco to smaller towns across the state. All facilities listed are licensed and monitored by the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) of the California Department of Social Services.

Select a city to browse licensed providers in that area, including daycares, preschools, infant centers, and family child care homes. Each city page includes available facility details such as type, capacity, and licensing status.

Use the alphabetical index above to jump to a specific letter, or sort by number of facilities to find cities with the most options near you.

Facility data is sourced from the CCLD and may not reflect the most recent changes. For the most current information, verify details directly with the CDSS.
