Find a Quality Daycare Center With This List

Of all the things to do with kids in Grand Rapids, finding the best daycare may be the hardest to pull off.

It doesn’t mean it’s not possible, but it does mean that you’ll have to do your homework. You want your kids to be safe and well cared for when they are away from home.

And because every family is different, there isn’t a one-size fits all daycare solution.

Many provide indoor and outdoor learning opportunities, daily reports on your child’s day, and even the ability to watch your child remotely while they are at child care!

Here are a few resources to help you sort through the many options, all gathered in one place for you:

These daycare centers have been serving the Grand Rapids community for years and are a hit among many families.

No matter how you choose to find childcare, make sure your provider is a safe, trusted person who will treat your kids like their own.
It is the user’s responsibility to thoroughly investigate and research potential child care providers. While we strive to only list licensed childcare options, proof of licensing is not required to be in this guide. Inclusion in this guide does not indicate endorsement by grkids.com. Grand Rapids Kids is providing this Child Care Guide for informational purposes only.

Tips for Finding the Best Daycare Provider for Your Child

Parents can find safe, quality care for their kids through various places. The best daycare options include:

There are so many things to consider when looking for a daycare provider.

Here are seven things Great Start to Quality recommends you look for when you start your search:

Best Daycare Provider Checklist

  • Notice how the child care provider interacts with the children. Does the provider talk gently to the children? Does she get down to their eye-level?  Do the children respond in a happy, satisfied way?
  • Is the room set up so that children can reach the toys and books? How does the program embrace all cultures? How often do the children go outside?
  • What are the provider’s current health and safety procedures? What will they do if your child appears sick or gets hurt?
  • Higher quality providers will offer a balance of active and quiet times; opportunities for children to make choices; times for larger groups, smaller groups and individual space; and regular schedules that allow for flexibility.
  • Infants and toddlers need a safe space to explore, learn, and move as well as a safe place to sleep.
  • How will you learn about your child’s development and what happened during the day?
  • Do the food menus list healthy, nutritious options? How will breastfeeding moms work with the program?

What is Great Start to Quality?

The Great Start to Quality Program is a great centralized website for all licensed childcare providers, making your time spent looking for childcare more worthwhile.

Backed by the State of Michigan, every licensed childcare facility in Michigan is listed on the Great Start to Quality website.

Vet Your Facility – Check Childcare Licensing Reports

Remember, finding a childcare provider is not a fast process.

Take the time to read through each of the provider’s profiles that fit your criteria.  

Each daycare’s licensing report is shown, along with their corrective action plan, if needed.

Parents should check for violations and special incident reports for specific childcare locations.

Filing a Complaint

Complaints against Michigan childcare facilities may be made online or by mail.

48 thoughts on “Grand Rapids Best Daycare Centers, Plus 7 Tips for Finding Great Child Care”

  1. My almost 3 year old has been attending Everbloom Montessori Co-Op for over a year and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. The community has been wonderful for our family. Please consider adding them to your list of childcare centers.

  2. I am looking for a daycare center for my 2 almost 3 year old son. I would need something Monday through Friday from 7:30-8am until 5-5:30pm. Any suggestions let me know

  3. Hello! I’m moving to GR end of January and looking for a great home daycare for my 2 1/2 year old son. Please help!t

  4. Hello all!

    I will be licensed for at-home daycare as of January 2016! I am located in the NE side of Grand Rapids and am seeking to fill 2 more spots, kids over 30 months of age (2 are currently filled). I have a very competitive rate and am open 7am-6pm weekdays. Thanks for considering!

    1. Relocating for work and this timeline aligns perfectly! We’re interested, need care for our two little ones over the age requirement. Can you please contact me via email if there are still openings?

    2. Hello there. I have a 2 year old & a 4 year old that I am in need of a daycare provider for. My needs would be part time with a rotating schedule as follows;
      Week A: Monday, Tuesday & Friday
      Week B: Wednesday & Thursday.

      Please let me know if you are able to accommodate my needs, I appreciate your time.

  5. Please make sure they are licensed and that have a clean, safe environment. It may help to do random, surprise drop ins to visit to make sure it’s not just a “glorified babysitter” and that the owner is actually taking wonderful care of your child and following the guidelines needed to enhance their development skills.

  6. I am currently looking for day care four to five days a week from 8 to 330/4pm. My son is eight months old. We live in the comstock park area.

  7. Hello!
    My husband and I are the proud parents of a bubbly 9 month old. We recently moved to the Cedar Springs/Greenville area and are looking for part time daycare 3-4 days a week. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  9. I’m currently interested in having interviews set up for the care of my newborn son. He has a due date of December 1st, though who really knows when he will decide to arrive. Before I get caught up in preparing for his arrival I’d like to have his childcare all set. I will need someone Monday- Thursday 2pm to midnight. I prefer that he is not around cats because I have an allergy to them. If there is anyone interested please contact me.

  10. Hello,
    I am a soon to be licensed daycare provider on the NE side of Grand Rapids. We live near Riverside park. My hours will be 7:30-5:00 Monday-Wednesday. I am a former Kindergarten and preschool teacher. I have worked with children for 20 years. I have an Associates and Bachelors degree in Child Development, Human Development and Education. Please contact me if you’re interested. My licensing will be complete October 1st.

    1. Hi! Do you currently have any openings for babysitting? I am looking for just a couple hours every weekday afternoon for my 2 toddlers as my husband’s and my work shifts overlap. If so, please email me! cassylous@yahoo.com. Thanks! -Cassy

  11. Hi, I am looking for part-time day care for my toddler son. Can you recommend any licensed home care providers either on the NE or SE side close in?

  20. Hello!

    I am a 24 year old Grand Rapids native who considers herself to be a professional nanny. I am not registered with any agencies, however I have worked in childcare since 2007 and since then have been a nanny for 6 families! I would be a stay-at-home-mom if I could, but until the Lord blesses me with that venture, I choose to work as a nanny.

    If you would like to contact me for your childcare needs, feel free to email me at betsywise1988@gmail.com.
