Every daycare in the Citrus Heights daycare directory holds a California child care license, checked against the state's live record when it was listed. Antelope sites are included (77 of 150). The license type tells you which ages a site is set up for: infant centers for babies, child care centers for preschoolers, school-age programs for before and after school, and family child care homes that often mix ages. Most listings do not post tuition, so call ahead for openings and prices.
