How much does infant daycare cost in Yorba Linda?

What age do children start preschool in Yorba Linda?

Most preschool programs in Orange County accept children starting at age 2.5 to 3 years old. Some programs offer toddler rooms starting at 18 months. Infant daycare programs typically begin at 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the facility license.

How long are daycare waitlists in Yorba Linda?

Waitlists in Yorba Linda vary by program popularity and time of year. Popular Montessori and language-immersion programs may have waitlists of 3-6 months. Starting your search 4-6 months before your desired enrollment date is recommended.

Are there subsidized childcare options in Yorba Linda?

Yes. Orange County families may qualify for subsidized care through California's Alternative Payment Program, Head Start, or state-funded preschool (CSPP). Eligibility is based on household income and family size. Contact the Orange County Child Care Coordination office at 714-543-2273 for details.
