Homestead at a glance

147 licensed child care providers in Homestead, drawn from the state licensing agency's public records. Each profile carries the license number, status, and capacity on record. Where the state publishes nothing for a field, or the daycare is not licensed, the profile says so plainly.

About licensed daycares in Homestead

Homestead is at the southern tip of the Miami-Dade metro, near the entrance to the Florida Keys and Everglades National Park. Historically the center of Miami-Dade's agriculture belt (tropical fruit, tomatoes, and the winter vegetable crop), the city has grown steadily as families priced out of central Miami-Dade have moved south.

Neighborhoods include the older grid around Krome Avenue and downtown Homestead, the newer master-planned developments toward Florida City, and the agricultural areas west toward Redland. Many parents work in agriculture, at Homestead Air Reserve Base, or commute north into Miami. The licensed provider directory includes bilingual accredited centers, faith-based programs across the older residential streets, and family day care homes throughout the growing subdivisions.
