Childcare in Grand Junction: what to know
How many licensed child care programs are in Grand Junction?
Grand Junction has 81 licensed programs on the Colorado register: 26 daycare centers, 10 licensed preschools, 26 home daycares and 19 before and after school programs.
Who licenses child care in Colorado?
Colorado Department of Early Childhood licenses and inspects child care centers, preschools and home daycares in Colorado. Every profile links to the state record. Licence data on this page was synced in September 2026.
What is Colorado Shines?
Colorado Shines rates licensed programs from Level 1 to Level 5. Level 1 means the program is licensed and in good standing. Levels 3 to 5 are awarded after an on-site assessment of staff training, learning environment, family partnerships and child health. 64 of 81 programs in Grand Junction hold a rating.
Why do home daycares show only a ZIP code?
A licensed home daycare is a private residence, and Colorado 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 Grand Junction?
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.
