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 Townsend take?
