Orange County · Florida

Orlando at a glance

527 licensed child care providers in Orlando, 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 Orlando

Orlando sits in the middle of Orange County and, together with Kissimmee and Sanford, forms the core of a metropolitan region that draws families from across the country. Beyond the theme parks, Orlando is a hospitality, tech, healthcare, and defense hub, and the daily rhythm of many families is shaped by shift work, back-to-back tourist seasons, and University of Central Florida research campuses in the east.

Neighborhoods like Baldwin Park, College Park, Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, Metrowest, and Winter Park (an adjacent city with strong overlap) each have their own child care ecosystems. VPK participation is heavy across the county, and families of hospitality workers frequently need evening or non-traditional hours. The licensed provider list reflects that variety, from large accredited centers near Lake Nona Medical City to family homes across older east-side neighborhoods.
