Before you enroll

Choosing infant care in Schenectady

  1. 1

    Ask about the waitlist

    Infant spots fill first. Ask how long the wait is and whether you can join before your baby is born.

  2. 2

    How many babies each caregiver has

    Ask how many infants one caregiver looks after and whether the same caregiver is there each day.

  3. 3

    Safe sleep

    Ask where babies nap. Any sleep rule cited by New York is on the listing's state record.

  4. 4

    Feeding and the daily log

    Ask how bottles and breast milk are handled, and how you hear about feeds, naps and diapers.

Questions

Questions

How many Schenectady daycares take infants?

18 Schenectady 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 Schenectady?

Full-time infant care in Schenectady County has a median of $289 a week at a center and $200 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 Schenectady take?

The New York license list we load does not give a starting age, so ask each daycare the youngest age it takes.

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?

Yes. Each shows its New York visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
