Questions
Questions
How many Carmel daycares take infants?
20 Carmel daycares take infants, by the Indiana record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.
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, 13% of visited Indiana 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 Carmel take?
The Indiana 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. 7 of the Carmel daycares on this list are home daycares. Each listing shows the ages on its Indiana record.
Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
Yes. Each shows its Indiana visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
