About Florida Daycare Finder

Florida Daycare Finder is an independent online directory that helps parents and caregivers research licensed daycare centers, preschools, and child care providers throughout Florida.

Our directory aggregates publicly available information from government records and trusted third-party sources to make researching childcare providers easier.

Florida Daycare Finder is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), the State of Florida, Google, or Yelp.

Information accuracy

We work hard to provide accurate, current, and transparent information.

However, daycare information changes frequently.

Providers may update:

• License status
• Capacity
• Hours of operation
• Contact information
• Ownership
• Program offerings
• Accreditation
• Inspection records

Although we regularly refresh information from public sources, we cannot guarantee that every listing is complete, accurate, or current at all times.

Before enrolling a child or making childcare decisions, we strongly encourage families to:

• Contact the daycare directly
• Review the provider's current licensing information
• Review official inspection reports
• Tour the facility in person
• Verify important details with the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF)

Florida Daycare Finder is intended as a research tool, not as the sole source for making childcare decisions.
