All licensed daycare facilities in Florida are listed in our directory. You can also verify a facility's license status through Florida'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 Florida, consider:
  • Licensing status and inspection history
  • Staff-to-child ratios (Florida sets minimum requirements by age group)
  • Staff qualifications and training
  • Safety measures and facility cleanliness

  • Curriculum and daily schedule
  • Location, hours, and cost
Daycare costs in Florida vary by location, child's age, and facility type. Full-time center-based care typically ranges from $150 to $400+ per week. Infant care is generally more expensive due to lower staff-to-child ratio requirements. Urban areas tend to have higher costs than rural areas.
