Licensed Daycares in Granada Hills, CA

Daycare & Childcare in Granada Hills

As of August 2026

How much choice do parents actually have when they start looking for licensed child care in Granada Hills? Quite a bit: the city has 24 licensed daycare providers, made up of 26 centers and 44 family child care homes, a mix weighted toward home-based care. Each of these providers is licensed through the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD), and CloverMap lets parents browse the full set of verified Granada Hills listings in one place to start narrowing down that range of choice.

What to know about childcare in Granada Hills

Granada Hills' 24 licensed providers lean toward family child care homes, which account for 44 of the total compared with 26 centers, a 63 percent to 37 percent split. That means most of the choice in this city's market comes from home-based providers, which typically operate out of a provider's residence with a smaller group of children and a single consistent caregiver. The smaller number of centers in Granada Hills still offer the larger, multi-classroom setting some families prefer, so both formats are represented, just not in equal numbers. Because the market here favors smaller, residence-based settings, families who value a lower adult-to-child ratio and a consistent, single caregiver throughout the day may find Granada Hills especially well suited to that preference.

The average licensed capacity across Granada Hills providers is 28 children, a figure pulled toward the lower end by the large share of family child care homes in the mix. Families comparing an individual listing to that citywide average can get a rough sense of whether a given provider is sized larger or smaller than what's typical locally.

Age-group coverage in Granada Hills is strong across every category. Infant and toddler care are each offered by 70 percent of providers, preschool-age coverage reaches 84 percent, and school-age coverage comes in at 71 percent. That means the large majority of Granada Hills providers offer coverage across every age group, from infants through school age.

All licensed providers in Granada Hills, whether a center or a family child care home, are licensed by the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division. CCLD is the state agency responsible for licensing both formats throughout California, and holding a current license means a provider has met the state's baseline requirements to legally operate as a child care provider. That baseline applies the same way whether the provider is a center like Concordia Preschool or one of the many family child care homes in the city.

Given how strongly Granada Hills leans toward family child care homes, families searching here should expect home-based listings to outnumber center listings substantially, and may want to specifically filter for centers if that's the preferred format. With coverage above 70 percent for infant, toddler, and school-age care, and even higher for preschool, most families searching by age range should find a solid number of options among the city's 70 providers. CloverMap's verified listings make it straightforward to sort Granada Hills providers by format and age group when building a shortlist. Reviewing both formats side by side before committing to a shortlist is a reasonable approach in a market this heavily weighted toward one type of provider.
