Research has shown that the best age for a child to start daycare at is at least 12-months-old.

If you're looking for infant care, keep in mind that most daycare facilities with infant programs accept babies as young as 6 weeks.

It depends! While some little ones may adjust after a few days or weeks, others may take a couple of months to adjust to napping at daycare. Starting daycare is a big transition for you and your baby or toddler.

Some children settle happily in their new child care centre within a few days or weeks. Others get upset and cry, even after the first few weeks. And some children settle at first and then get upset later, when the novelty of the new environment has worn off.
