Questions
Questions
How many Washington daycares take infants?

How much does infant daycare cost in Washington?
Full-time infant care in Beaufort County has a median of $185 a week at a center and $167 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 Washington take?
