Who licenses child care in Illinois?

Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, Day Care Licensing licenses and inspects child care centers, preschools and home daycares in Illinois. Every profile links to the state record. Licence data on this page was synced in September 2026.

Why do home daycares show only a ZIP code?

A licensed home daycare is a private residence. 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 Joliet?

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.
