Questions
Questions
How many Bay Shore daycares take infants?
5 Bay Shore daycares take infants, by the New York record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.
How much does infant daycare cost in Bay Shore?
Full-time infant care in Suffolk County has a median of $325 a week at a center and $300 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, 22% of visited New York 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 Bay Shore take?

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
