About licensed daycares in Pembroke Pines
Pembroke Pines is in southwest Broward County, one of the largest cities in the state and a suburban anchor for families working across the South Florida metro. The city has expanded steadily westward from its older core near U.S. 441 out to the newer master-planned communities near I-75.
Neighborhoods like Pembroke Falls, SilverLakes, and the older grid east of Flamingo Road each have distinct child care patterns. Many families here have deep multigenerational roots in South Florida and are close to Cuban, Colombian, Venezuelan, and Jamaican communities. The licensed provider directory reflects that diversity with a mix of accredited centers, bilingual programs, faith-based options, and family day care homes across the residential subdivisions.
