Questions
Questions
How many Parkville daycares take infants?
3 Parkville daycares take infants, by the Missouri 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, 4.5% of visited Missouri 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 Parkville take?
Most often from birth or age 0: of the 3 daycares in Parkville whose state record gives a starting age, 3 take babies from 6 weeks or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.
Is there newborn daycare in Parkville?
Yes. 2 daycares in Parkville list ages starting at birth or age 0 on the state record. Ask each one the youngest age it takes now and whether it has an infant opening.
Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
Yes. Each shows its Missouri visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
