Questions

Questions

How many Winston-Salem daycares take infants?

84 Winston-Salem daycares take infants, by the North Carolina record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.

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 Winston-Salem take?

Are home daycares an option for infants?

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
