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

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

  3. 3

    Safe sleep

    Ask where babies nap. Any sleep rule cited by Connecticut is on the listing's state record.

Questions

How many Stamford daycares take infants?

Most often from 6 weeks: of the 39 daycares in Stamford whose state record gives a starting age, 24 take babies from 6 weeks or younger and 32 from 3 months or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.
