    Ask how many infants one caregiver looks after and whether the same caregiver is there each day.

  3. 3

Questions

Questions

How many Lexington daycares take infants?

93 Lexington daycares take infants, by the Kentucky record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.

How much does infant daycare cost in Lexington?

Full-time infant care in Fayette County has a median of $184 a week at a center and $132 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, 44% of visited Kentucky 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 Lexington take?

The Kentucky license list we load does not give a starting age, so ask each daycare the youngest age it takes.

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?

Yes, for the listings with a state license record. Each shows its Kentucky visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
