About these numbers

Every license count here comes from the state and city license files, read November 3, 2026.

A center program is the active center licenses one provider holds at one address. A center and its school-age program count as one.

Openings cover November 2025 to October 2026.

An opening is a program first opened then, at an address with no earlier center.

Home daycares are family day care and group family day care homes.

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.

In New York City, centers hold a permit from the city's Health Department, not a state license.

The city's file has no opening dates, so the five boroughs show no openings.

Both files list only open programs, so this page shows no closings.

This page is a summary of public records. It is not legal advice, and licenses change every week.

To check one program, search the state's own lookup. Centers in New York City are on the city Health Department's own search.
