Before you enroll

Choosing infant care in Tempe

    Ask about the waitlist

    Infant spots fill first. Ask how long the wait is and whether you can join before your baby is born.

    How many babies each caregiver has

    Ask how many infants one caregiver looks after and whether the same caregiver is there each day.

  3. 3

Questions

Questions

How many Tempe daycares take infants?

16 Tempe daycares take infants, by the Arizona record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.

How much does infant daycare cost in Tempe?

Full-time infant care in Maricopa County has a median of $270 a week at a center and $180 at a home daycare (U.S. Department of Labor, 2022). Prices have risen since that survey, so ask each daycare for its current infant rate.

What does a safe-sleep citation mean?

It means a state inspector found a sleep rule not met on a visit, for example a baby put down on their side, a crib with blankets or toys, or babies left without a check. Open a listing to read its visits, and ask the daycare what it changed.

How young a baby do daycares in Tempe take?

The Arizona license list we load does not give a starting age, so ask each daycare the youngest age it takes.

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?

Yes. Each shows its Arizona visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
