Requirements include OEC licensing application, background checks (state and federal), health inspection, fire marshal approval, CPR/First Aid certification, and compliance with CT Early Learning and Development Standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How much does daycare cost in Greenwich?

Daycare in Greenwich typically costs $1200-$2400 per month. Infant care costs 20-40% more than toddler/preschool rates. Many centers offer sibling discounts of 10-15% and multi-day discounts for full-week enrollment. Infant rooms cost 20-40% more than toddler or preschool rooms because state ratios require more staff — CT requires 1 caregiver for every 4 infants, compared to 1:7 for preschool-age children.

2What are the staff-to-child ratios at daycare centers in Greenwich?

Connecticut's Office of Early Childhood (OEC) sets these ratios for licensed daycare centers: 1 caregiver per 4 infants (under 12 months), 1 per 4 one-year-olds, 1 per 5 two-year-olds (updated October 2024), 1 per 10 preschoolers (3–5 years), and 1 per 10 school-age children. Ask your Greenwich center for their actual staffing levels — ratios directly affect the quality of care your child receives.

3How do I choose a good daycare in Greenwich?

Visit in person during operating hours to observe the environment and how staff interact with children. Check that the center is licensed by CT OEC (portal.ct.gov/oec) and ask to see the current license posted at the entrance. Confirm actual staff-to-child ratios, ask about staff turnover and training requirements, and request references from current parents. Look for age-appropriate activities, clean facilities, and a structured daily schedule.

4What age can my child start daycare in Greenwich?

Most Greenwich daycare centers accept infants starting at 6 weeks old, though some begin at 3 months. Infant rooms have the lowest ratios and highest costs. Many parents find that starting between 3-6 months works well for their family's schedule and the child's developmental readiness.

5How do I verify a daycare's license in Greenwich?

Use the CT Office of Early Childhood licensing lookup at portal.ct.gov/oec to verify a center is currently licensed and check its inspection history. Licensed Greenwich centers must post their OEC license prominently. Connecticut also publishes Quality Counts ratings, which go beyond basic licensing to assess curriculum, staff qualifications, and family engagement — look for Care4Kids-accepted providers if you need subsidy assistance.
