Before you enroll

Choosing an in-home daycare in Dover

  1. 1

    Ask who else is in the home

    Ask who lives in the home and who helps with the children. Many states require background checks for adults living in a licensed home.

  2. 2

    Ask about backup care

    With one provider, a sick day or vacation closes the daycare. Ask how many days a year they close and what families do then.

  3. 3

    Ask about the group

    Ask how many children come each day and their ages. A home daycare often mixes babies and school-age children in one group.

  4. 4

    Check the license record

    Open the daycare's page here to see its Delaware license type, capacity and the state's inspection record, where we hold them.

What is the difference between in-home daycare and family child care?

They are the same thing. State licenses call it a family child care home (or a group or large family home when there is an assistant): a provider caring for a small group of children in their own home.

How many children can a home daycare have in Delaware?

It depends on the license type and the children's ages. The typical Delaware home daycare license here is for 9 children; each listing shows its own licensed capacity.

How much does in-home daycare cost in Dover?

In Kent County, home daycares charge a median $156 a week for infants and $129 a week for preschool-age children (U.S. Department of Labor, 2022). Ask the provider for their rates.

Why is there no street address?

An in-home daycare is the provider's own home. We show the town and ZIP code only; the provider shares the address with families.

Are in-home daycares licensed?

Yes, every listing here comes from the Delaware child care license records. Open any listing for its license and inspection record.
