Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases in Child Care Facilities
The Child Care Program Office collects COVID-19 positive cases for child care facilities statewide.
The figure and tables below represent COVID-19 positive cases at Child Care Facilities licensed by
the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division that have a
capacity of at least nine (9) or more children in care. This threshold is in consideration of privacy and
security concerns for Small Family Child Care Homes. This report also includes tables for the total
number of open licensed facilities for Child Care Centers and Family Child Care Homes statewide in
each of California’s 58 counties.
Of those facilities that have a capacity of at least nine (9) or more children in care, the figure and
tables below identify the counties with eleven (11) or more COVID-19 positive cases, unless
otherwise stated. Values of less than eleven (11) are masked (shown as <11) and values of eleven
(11) or more that could be used to identify masked values are also masked (shown as **) in
accordance with de-identification guidelines. True values of zero appear as "0”.
