2,516 child care providers in 246 cities and towns and 38 counties. From the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF): DCYF Licensed Childcare Center and School Age Program Providers.
What Washington’s list covers
Licensed child care centers, school-age programs and outdoor nature-based programs only. Washington shows its licensed family home child care only in its Child Care Check search, which this site can’t read, so those homes aren’t here yet.
What we’ve asked for
We asked Washington’s Department of Children, Youth, and Families on Oct 19, 2026 whether we may show its child care inspection records; we’re waiting for an answer. Until then, they’re on Child Care Check.
