Questions
Questions
How many Bear daycares take infants?
51 Bear daycares take infants, by the Delaware record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.
How much does infant daycare cost in Bear?
Full-time infant care in New Castle County has a median of $280 a week at a center and $182 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 Bear take?
Most often from 6 weeks: of the 51 daycares in Bear whose state record gives a starting age, 37 take babies from 6 weeks or younger and 50 from 3 months or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.
Is there newborn daycare in Bear?
37 daycares in Bear take babies from 6 weeks or younger by the state record. Ask each one the youngest age it takes now.
Are home daycares an option for infants?
Yes. 30 of the Bear daycares on this list are home daycares. Each listing shows the ages on its Delaware record.
Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
Yes. Each shows its Delaware visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
