How many Smyrna daycares take infants?

How much does infant daycare cost in Smyrna?
Full-time infant care in Kent County has a median of $182 a week at a center and $156 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 Smyrna take?
Most often from 6 weeks: of the 18 daycares in Smyrna whose state record gives a starting age, 18 take babies from 6 weeks or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.

Are home daycares an option for infants?
Yes. 10 of the Smyrna 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.
