Questions
Questions
How many Jacksonville daycares take infants?
25 Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville?
Full-time infant care in Onslow County has a median of $203 a week at a center and $161 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 Jacksonville take?
From birth or age 0 on the state record: all 23 daycares in Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville?
Yes. 23 daycares in Jacksonville 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. 5 of the Jacksonville 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.
