Before you enroll

Choosing infant care in Syracuse

    Ask about the waitlist

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

    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
