What to know about childcare in Burbank
Burbank's roster of 85 providers is nearly balanced between settings, with 45 family child care homes, about 53%, slightly outnumbering the 40 centers, 47%. ABC PRE SCHOOL HOUSE is one example among Burbank's 40 centers, a group roughly matched in size by the city's home-based providers.
Combined licensed capacity across Burbank's 85 providers totals about 2,570 children, an average of roughly 30 per site, a figure consistent with a roster that isn't strongly weighted toward either the higher-capacity center model or the smaller home model.
Preschool leads Burbank's age coverage, served by 74 of the 85 providers, about 87%. Infants and toddlers are each covered by 54 providers, roughly 64%, and school-age children by 47 providers, or 55%. Coverage is solid across all four age bands, without the steep drop-offs seen in some other cities.
Every provider on Burbank's roster is licensed through the Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD), which applies the same statewide health, staffing, and ratio requirements to centers and family child care homes alike.
Because Burbank's roster splits nearly evenly between homes and centers, parents here can genuinely compare both settings without one dominating the search results. With infant and toddler coverage each around 64% and preschool at 87%, most age groups should turn up a workable number of options among the 85 listed providers.
Because Burbank's roster is close to evenly split, parents here have real choices in both directions rather than being funneled toward one setting. With solid coverage across every age band, from 55% up to 87%, most families should be able to build a shortlist of providers worth contacting directly, whether they lean toward a center's classroom-based structure or a home's smaller, more flexible group setting for their child's care. All 85 of Burbank's listed providers reported a capacity figure, so the 30-per-site average reflects the complete roster rather than a partial sample. That's a moderate figure consistent with a roster split almost evenly between the 40 centers and 45 family child care homes that make up Burbank's options, neither one dominating the citywide picture. CloverMap's Burbank page brings all 85 providers into one searchable list, making it easier to filter by setting and age group before reaching out to individual providers directly rather than piecing together listings from multiple sources. That's a useful starting point before narrowing down to a specific provider worth a closer look for a given family's needs.
