    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

    Safe sleep

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

Questions

Questions

How many Millsboro daycares take infants?

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.

Most often from 6 weeks: of the 15 daycares in Millsboro whose state record gives a starting age, 13 take babies from 6 weeks or younger and 15 from 3 months or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.
