How much does daycare cost in Sylmar, CA?

Daycare prices in Sylmar 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 Sylmar and filter by budget to find an option that fits your family.

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