What to know about childcare in Highland

Highland's 38 licensed child care providers lean toward centers, with 27 centers compared with 11 family child care homes, or about 71 percent centers to 29 percent homes. That mix means most of a parent's search results here will be center-based programs, including several faith-affiliated centers, while family child care homes make up a smaller share of the roster.

Reported licensed capacity across Highland's 38 providers totals 1,575 children, an average of about 41 spots per provider, a middle-range figure for this batch of cities. That average reflects the center-heavy mix, since centers typically license more spots per site than a single family child care home would.

Age-group coverage in Highland is led by preschool, with 23 of the 38 providers, or 61 percent, serving that age group. Infant and toddler care is each reported by 16 providers, about 42 percent of the total, while school-age care is reported by 19 providers, exactly 50 percent. Preschool is the clear standout category, though the other three age groups are each covered by a meaningful minority of providers.

Every Highland provider, including centers such as HIGHLAND CHURCH DAY CARE CENTER, is licensed by CCLD, the division of the California Department of Social Services responsible for regulating child care statewide. A CCLD license means a provider has met the state's requirements for staffing, group sizes, and program operations, a standard applied equally to centers and family child care homes.

Families in Highland seeking infant or toddler care should note that coverage for those age groups sits at 42 percent of the roster, meaningfully narrower than preschool coverage, so starting that search early and contacting several providers directly is likely to be more productive than a single general search.

Parents specifically interested in a family child care home in Highland have 11 options to work with against 27 centers, a smaller but still workable field, particularly for families who prefer a smaller group setting over a larger, more classroom-style center environment.

Parents comparing Highland's centers, several of which are church-affiliated, against its family child care homes should also expect differences in program philosophy and daily schedule beyond just group size, so a short conversation with each shortlisted provider about curriculum and daily routine is worth having before enrolling. That kind of direct check is especially useful in a city where preschool coverage is strong but the other three age groups are covered by fewer than half of all providers, meaning the right fit is not guaranteed on the first search result.
