What to know about childcare in Woodhaven

Woodhaven's child care roster, per New York State Office of Children and Family Services records, includes 49 licensed providers, every one classified as a center. No family child care homes appear in the data, so Woodhaven families searching this roster will encounter facility-based programs exclusively. That difference in structure also tends to show up in daily routines, with a center more likely to follow a fixed published schedule across multiple staff-led classrooms rather than the more flexible, single-caregiver rhythm of a home setting.

Combined, Woodhaven's providers report a licensed capacity of 919 children, an average of 19 per site -- the smallest per-site average among the cities covered in this batch. That suggests Woodhaven's centers run smaller than typical, which can mean more intimate group sizes but also a tighter ceiling on total seats at any single site. As with most centers, that capacity is likely distributed across several classrooms rather than one undivided space, so a family should expect a specific age-based group size rather than the full site total.

Woodhaven's age-group data is concentrated almost entirely at the school-age level, with 48 of the 49 providers recorded serving school-age children. The dataset shows no meaningful infant, toddler, or preschool coverage for this city, so a parent searching for care for a younger child will likely need to look outside Woodhaven's immediate roster.

All 49 Woodhaven providers are licensed through the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, which verifies staffing ratios, group sizes, and facility conditions before any provider can operate. 7 Woodhaven providers, roughly 14 percent of the roster, additionally hold a QUALITYstarsNY rating.

A Woodhaven parent should expect an entirely center-based, smaller-scale roster focused on school-age care, with organizations like The Greater Ridgewood Youth Council, Inc. representing the kind of community-oriented provider found here. Families with a younger child will want to widen their search beyond Woodhaven itself, given the lack of recorded infant, toddler, or preschool coverage in this city's licensing data.

For a Woodhaven family, this roster works best as a starting point rather than a final answer: licensing status confirms a center meets the state's baseline requirements, but details like hours, enrollment timing, and current openings still require a direct conversation with each program. Weighing a center's reported capacity against its age-group coverage, as outlined above, is one practical way to shorten that list before reaching out.
