Questions

Questions

How many Port Arthur daycares take infants?

14 Port Arthur daycares take infants, by the Texas record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.

How much does infant daycare cost in Port Arthur?

Full-time infant care in Jefferson County has a median of $135 a week at a center and $124 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.

Yes. 5 of the Port Arthur daycares on this list are home daycares. Each listing shows the ages on its Texas record.

Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
