Licensed Childcare Centers

This feature layer shows active Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) licensed childcare centers in Washington. Access to safe, reliable childcare supports family well-being, early childhood development, and stable communities. Childcare availability can differ a lot from one neighborhood to another, which can make it harder for some families to find the care they need. Those most affected include young children, working parents and caregivers, families with fewer financial resources, and communities facing childcare shortages.
