Daycare & Childcare Centers in Arlington, TX
Arlington has roughly 72 daycare & childcare centers in our directory — a starting point for Texas families looking for the right daycare / childcare center close to home. The list below is drawn from curated public listings and licensing data, then sorted by distance from your search so the nearest options come first. Texas is big and spread out, and what works for one family in Arlington won’t fit another — schedules, ages served, pricing, and how far you’re willing to drive all matter. That’s why we show real listings with addresses, phone numbers and directions rather than a vague map, so you can make a quick call and decide for yourself. We verify each listing is real and currently listed (last checked July 2026), but details change: hours shift, waitlists open and close, and some places update their services between our checks. A two-minute phone call before you load everyone into the car can save a wasted trip. Treat this page as a shortlist to work from — narrow it down, call ahead, and confirm the specifics that matter most for your family in Arlington. And if you’re after more practical, parent-tested help, our Parents Declassified guides are written for exactly these everyday moments.
The 72 nearest, ranked honestly — never by payment

We verify each is real and currently listed (last checked July 2026), then sort by family-relevant signals: true distance, data completeness (address, phone, website), and listing source. Listings marked “Featured” would be paid placements — clearly labeled — and payment never changes the ranking of these picks. Listings are informational; please verify independently before visiting.
