St. Petersburg at a glance

202 licensed child care providers in St. Petersburg, 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 St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg occupies the southern half of Pinellas County, on the peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The city has reinvented itself over the last two decades around a downtown arts and dining core, a growing marine science and healthcare cluster near USF St. Pete, and beach-adjacent neighborhoods that pull in both young families and retirees who help with grandchildren.

Neighborhoods like Old Northeast, Kenwood, Snell Isle, Skyway Marina, and the beach communities to the west each have distinct pace and price points. Child care options range from historic center-based programs downtown to family day care homes in the Old Southeast and Historic Uptown, with faith-based programs well-represented across the older residential grid.
