Who licenses child care in Delaware?

How common are inspection violations at Wilmington daycares?

What does daycare cost in Wilmington?

6 programs in the Wilmington area publish full-time tuition on their website. The median starting price is $590 a month, and $1,517 a month for infants. Most programs share tuition only on a tour, so ask for the full fee schedule including registration and supply fees.

Why do home daycares show only a ZIP code?

A licensed home daycare is a private residence. The listing shows the licence, capacity and ZIP code. The provider gives the address to families directly.

When should I join a daycare waitlist in Wilmington?

Infant rooms fill first because the state allows the fewest babies per teacher. Ask each program how long its infant and toddler waitlists run and whether a deposit holds a place. Home daycares often have shorter waits than centers.
