    Infant spots fill first. Ask how long the wait is and whether you can join before your baby is born.

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

  3. 3

    Safe sleep

    Ask where babies nap. Any sleep rule cited by North Carolina is on the listing's state record.

  4. 4

    Feeding and the daily log

Questions

Questions

How many Cary daycares take infants?

58 Cary daycares take infants, by the North Carolina record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.

How much does infant daycare cost in Cary?

Full-time infant care in Wake County has a median of $307 a week at a center and $217 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, 33% of visited North Carolina 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 Cary take?

From birth or age 0 on the state record: all 57 daycares in Cary whose record gives a starting age list it that way. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.

Is there newborn daycare in Cary?

Yes. 57 daycares in Cary 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.

Are home daycares an option for infants?

Yes. 11 of the Cary daycares on this list are home daycares. Each listing shows the ages on its North Carolina record.

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?

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