Wisconsin's Licensed Child Care Search

Choosing child care is one of the most important parenting decisions you will make.  Every child deserves a safe, healthy and warm child care environment.  Wisconsin's Licensed Child Care Search is one important tool to assist you in making this decision.

Wisconsin's Licensed Child Care Search contains information on the location and regulatory history of the almost 6,000 child care centers and day camps licensed by the Department of Children and Families (DCF). This information is provided to assist you in locating and learning more about licensed child care in your area. Through the Licensed Child Care Search, you can search for licensed child care by county, city, zip code or facility name. Once you have located a child care center or day camp, you can review the facility's licensing information including compliance history and enforcement actions.
