Questions
How many Shelton daycares take infants?

Since October 2023, 45% of visited Connecticut infant programs had one cited. Open a listing to read its visits, and ask the daycare what it changed.
How young a baby do daycares in Shelton take?
Most often from 6 weeks: of the 16 daycares in Shelton whose state record gives a starting age, 15 take babies from 6 weeks or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.
