Questions
Questions
How many Athens daycares take infants?
30 Athens daycares take infants, by the Georgia record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.
How much does infant daycare cost in Athens?
Full-time infant care in Clarke County has a median of $143 a week at a center and $130 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. Since October 2023, 31% of visited Georgia infant programs had one cited. Open a listing to read its visits, and ask the daycare what it changed.
How young a baby do daycares in Athens take?
The Georgia license list we load does not give a starting age, so ask each daycare the youngest age it takes.
Are home daycares an option for infants?
Yes. 8 of the Athens daycares on this list are home daycares. Each listing shows the ages on its Georgia record.
Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
Yes. Each shows its Georgia visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
