All licensed daycare facilities in Arizona are listed in our directory. You can also verify a facility's license status through Arizona's childcare licensing agency. Licensed facilities must meet state standards for safety, health, staff-to-child ratios, and staff qualifications.
When comparing daycare options in Arizona, consider:
