Questions

Questions

How many Columbus daycares take infants?

22 Columbus 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 Columbus 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. 16 of the Columbus 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.
