Childcare in Elk Grove: what to know
How many licensed child care programs are in Elk Grove?
Elk Grove has 139 licensed programs on the California register: 44 daycare centers, 0 licensed preschools, 84 home daycares and 11 before and after school programs.
Who licenses child care in California?
California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division licenses and inspects child care centers, preschools and home daycares in California. Every profile links to the state record. Licence data on this page was synced in September 2026.
How common are inspection violations at Elk Grove daycares?
Violations are common and most are paperwork or maintenance items. Across 436 daycare centers in the metro area, the median center has 1 citations on the state file, and 170 centers have none. 147 have at least one rated Type A by the state. California cites a Type A violation for an immediate risk to the health or safety of children, and a Type B violation for a record-keeping or maintenance item. The state file gives counts, dates and regulation numbers, not the inspector's notes.
What does daycare cost in Elk Grove?
24 programs in the metro area publish full-time tuition on their website. The median starting price is $1,058 a month, and $1,369 a month for infants. Most programs share tuition only on a tour, so ask for the full fee schedule including registration and supply fees.
Why do home daycares show only a ZIP code?
A licensed home daycare is a private residence, and California withholds the address from its public register. The listing shows the licence, capacity and ZIP code. The provider gives the address to families directly.
When should I join a daycare waitlist in Elk Grove?
Infant rooms fill first because the state allows the fewest babies per teacher. Ask each program how long its infant and toddler waitlists run and whether a deposit holds a place. Home daycares often have shorter waits than centers.
Help paying for care
Most states run a child care subsidy for working families under an income limit, funded by the federal Child Care and Development Fund.
