Childcare access in St. Johns County, Florida
A local view of young children and childcare records
- Children under 5
- 13,874
About this number
This is a Census estimate, not an exact count. The Census reports a 90% margin of error of about 189 children in either direction.
- Daycare providers
- 95
About this number
This count includes Florida daycare providers listed as active, excluding those classified as Exempt. Florida does not consistently identify school-age-only programs, so some may still be included.
- Providers per 1,000 children
- 6.8
About this number
This compares the number of included daycare providers with the estimated number of children under 5. It counts providers—not classrooms, openings, or available spots. Based on the Census margin of error, the 90% estimate range is 6.8 to 6.9 providers per 1,000 children.
- Children under 6 with parents in the workforce
- 67.7%
About this number
This is the share of children under 6 living with parent(s) who are all working or looking for work. The Census uses a narrower family-based definition here than it uses for the under-5 population estimate, so the two numbers should not be compared directly. This provides context, but it does not tell us how many families actually use or are looking for paid childcare. The Census reports a 90% margin of error of about 6.0 percentage points in either direction.
Sources and how to read this
Population estimates: U.S. Census Bureau, 2020-2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates. Census margins and ranges shown here use 90% confidence.
Provider count: DaycareFacts saved provider snapshot, dated August 6, 2026.
Provider counts exclude Florida Exempt records. Florida source categories cannot reliably identify every school-age-only facility, so some may remain in the count.
These measures describe the records and population estimates available for this area. They do not measure provider quality, openings, affordability, or whether care meets a particular family's needs.
