Daycare and Preschool Space for Lease in Florida

Listings whose write-up describes a daycare, childcare or preschool use or build-out. Licensed childcare needs square footage per child, fenced outdoor play area, child-height fixtures, fire and health approvals and the right zoning, so a space that already meets them is far easier to open in than a shell.

17 daycare spaces for lease in Florida are listed in the MLS as of October 17, 2026.
