Questions
How many Chester daycares take infants?

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 Chester take?
Most often from 4 weeks: of the 11 daycares in Chester whose state record gives a starting age, 9 take babies from 6 weeks or younger and 11 from 3 months or younger. A daycare's own minimum can be older than its license allows, so ask.

Are home daycares an option for infants?
Yes. 3 of the Chester daycares on this list are home daycares. Each listing shows the ages on its Virginia record.
Can I see an infant daycare's inspections?
