Early education and care
The state Department of Early Education and Care lists all licensed programs - family child care, center-based and school-age.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children, whose accrediting process of center-based programs and preschools is a widely-accepted proxy for quality, lists accredited programs.
Contact your local school department for information on early education programs in the public schools.
