About licensed daycares in Sunrise
Sunrise is a mid-size Broward County city west of Fort Lauderdale, best known as the home of the Sawgrass Mills mall and the arena that hosts the Florida Panthers. The economy leans on retail, healthcare, professional services, and a growing corporate footprint along the University Drive corridor.
Neighborhoods like Sunrise Lakes, Sunrise Golf Village, and the newer master-planned communities toward Weston each frame different family patterns. Many parents work in the retail corridor, in healthcare, or commute east into Fort Lauderdale. The licensed provider directory includes accredited centers along Oakland Park Boulevard and University Drive, faith-based programs across the older neighborhoods, and family day care homes throughout the residential subdivisions.
