Daycare in Greenwich — FAQ

How 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.

What 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.
