Questions

Questions

How many Richmond daycares take infants?

15 Richmond 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 Richmond?

Full-time infant care in Madison County has a median of $181 a week at a center and $131 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 Richmond take?

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?

Yes. Each shows its Kentucky visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
