Questions

Questions

How many Salisbury daycares take infants?

23 Salisbury 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 Salisbury?

Full-time infant care in Rowan County has a median of $199 a week at a center and $155 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 Salisbury take?

From birth or age 0 on the state record: all 23 daycares in Salisbury 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 Salisbury?

Are home daycares an option for infants?

Yes. 8 of the Salisbury 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. Each shows its North Carolina visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
