What age can my child start daycare?

Many daycare centers accept infants as young as 6 weeks old. However, availability for infant care is limited due to lower ratios. Some parents prefer to wait until 3-6 months or longer before starting childcare.

We recommend starting your search 3-6 months before you need care. Quality programs often have waitlists, especially for infant and toddler spots. Some families apply even before their baby is born.
