Childcare Licensing in Meriden

CT Office of Early Childhood (OEC) — Licensing Division
(860) 500-4412|Official Website
Licensing typically required. Most family daycare providers in Meriden must be licensed by the state. Verify that any provider you consider holds a current, valid license before enrolling your child.

Child care programs in New Haven County are licensed by the CT Office of Early Childhood (OEC) as a Child Care Center, Group Child Care Home, or Family Child Care Home, and youth camps hold an OEC youth camp license. Some programs, such as ones run by public schools, hold an exemption from licensing instead. Licensing requires background checks (state and federal), health and fire safety approval, and CPR/First Aid certification. Verify any provider's license at elicense.ct.gov. Nanny agencies and private tutors are not required to hold state licenses in Connecticut.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How much does family daycare cost in Meriden?
Family daycare rates in Meriden are set by each provider and depend on your child's age and schedule. Ask each home for its current rates and what is included.
2What is a family daycare vs a daycare center?
A family daycare operates out of a provider's home and typically cares for a small group of children. A daycare center is a larger facility with multiple classrooms and staff. Family daycares offer a home-like environment, smaller groups, and often more flexible schedules. In New Haven County, family daycares must be licensed and pass regular inspections — ask to see the provider's current license posted in the home.
3How many children can a licensed family daycare watch in CT?
Connecticut licenses Family Child Care Homes to care for up to 6 children (including the provider's own children under 13). A Large Family Child Care Home may serve 7-12 children with an approved assistant. All Meriden family daycares must be licensed by CT OEC and display their license in the home. Smaller group sizes in family settings often mean more individualized attention for each child.
4How do I verify a family daycare is licensed in Meriden?
Use the CT Office of Early Childhood licensing lookup (ctoec.org/licensing/look-up-providers-and-programs) to verify the home is currently licensed and check inspection records. Licensed Meriden family daycares must post their OEC license visibly in the home. Connecticut's Care4Kids program (ctcare4kids.com) provides subsidized care — ask the provider if they accept Care4Kids payments if you need financial assistance.
