Questions
Questions
How many Raleigh daycares take infants?
186 Raleigh 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 Raleigh?
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 Raleigh take?
From birth or age 0 on the state record: all 177 daycares in Raleigh 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 Raleigh?
Yes. 177 daycares in Raleigh 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. 53 of the Raleigh 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.
