Who licenses child care in Illinois?

Why do home daycares show only a ZIP code?

When should I join a daycare waitlist in Chicago?
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.
