Questions
Questions
How many Charlottesville daycares take infants?
33 Charlottesville daycares take infants, by the Virginia record or their own description. A daycare without this tag may still take infants, so ask.
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, 23% of visited Virginia 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 Charlottesville take?
Most often from 4 weeks: of the 31 daycares in Charlottesville whose state record gives a starting age, 28 take babies from 6 weeks or younger and 31 from 3 months or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.
Is there newborn daycare in Charlottesville?
28 daycares in Charlottesville take babies from 6 weeks or younger by the state record. Ask each one the youngest age it takes now.
Are home daycares an option for infants?
Yes. 10 of the Charlottesville daycares on this list are home daycares. Each listing shows the ages on its Virginia record.
Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
Yes. Each shows its Virginia visits and what the state cited, in the state's words where the state publishes them.
