Frequently asked questions about Orinda daycares

How much does daycare cost in Orinda, CA?

Daycare prices in Orinda vary by your child's age, the type of program, and the neighborhood. Infant daycare typically costs more than toddler or preschool programs. On UrbanSitter, you can compare pricing for daycares in Orinda and filter by budget to find an option that fits your family.

How can I choose the right daycare in Orinda, CA?

What's the difference between daycare and preschool?

Are daycare expenses tax deductible?

Daycare itself isn't deductible, but many Orinda families qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit or a Dependent Care FSA. These programs can help lower the cost of care. Learn more in our guide to daycare tax benefits.
