Before you enroll

Choosing infant care in Monroe

  1. 1

    Ask about the waitlist

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

  2. 2

    How many babies each caregiver has

    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 Monroe daycares take infants?

19 Monroe 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 Monroe?

Full-time infant care in Union County has a median of $248 a week at a center and $201 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 Monroe take?

From birth or age 0 on the state record: all 19 daycares in Monroe 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 Monroe?

Are home daycares an option for infants?

Yes. 3 of the Monroe 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?
