Before you enroll

Choosing infant care in Milford

  1. 1

    Ask about the waitlist

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

  2. 2

    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

    Safe sleep

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

  4. 4

    Feeding and the daily log

    Ask how bottles and breast milk are handled, and how you hear about feeds, naps and diapers.

Questions

Questions

How many Milford daycares take infants?

17 Milford 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 Milford?

Full-time infant care in Sussex County has a median of $182 a week at a center and $155 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 Milford take?

Most often from 6 weeks: of the 17 daycares in Milford whose state record gives a starting age, 16 take babies from 6 weeks or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
