How this list is made: Shelby daycares whose hours on the North Carolina license record open before 7 AM, or, where the state publishes no hours, whose public business listing gives the same opening time before 7 AM on every weekday. The North Carolina license list we load does not publish opening hours, so here this list uses the hours on each daycare's public business listing: the same opening time before 7 AM on every weekday. Each listing shows its opening time. Ask whether it opens that early every day.
