About these numbers
Every license count here comes from the state's license file, read November 3, 2026.
A center program is the active center licenses one licensee holds at one address. A day care center and its infant center count as one program.
Openings and closings cover November 2025 to October 2026.
An opening is a program first licensed then, at an address with no earlier center license.
A closing is an address whose last center license closed in that time.
Home daycares are large family child care homes, for up to 14 children. Small homes are not in the state's file.
Children under 5 are the Census Bureau's estimates for July 1, 2025.
Spots for young children leave out school-age licenses and add home daycare spots. Some serve older children.
