What questions should I ask when touring a daycare in Kennett Square, PA?
Touring a daycare in Kennett Square, PA in person is one of the most important steps in the decision-making process, and going in with the right questions makes a big difference. Start with the basics: What are the staff-to-child ratios for your child's age group, and how is the center staffed during drop-off and pick-up? Ask how staff handle discipline and conflict between children, and what a typical daily schedule looks like. It's also worth asking about their communication style — do they use an app, daily sheets, or in-person check-ins to keep parents informed? On the practical side, ask about enrollment availability, waitlist timelines, tuition payment schedules, and their policy on sick days or closures. If you're considering a specific type of care, like a child care center versus a family daycare home, tailor your questions to that setting. For a full list of what to cover, check out our guide on questions to ask when touring a daycare center.
How much does daycare cost in Kennett Square, PA?

The type of care plays a big role — child care centers typically have different pricing structures than family daycare homes, which tend to be smaller and sometimes more affordable. Your child's age matters too, as infant care generally costs more due to the higher staff ratios required for younger children. The number of days per week, full-time versus part-time enrollment, and any additional services like meals, enrichment programs, or overnight care will all affect your monthly total. Location within PA is another factor — urban centers in Kennett Square often see higher rates than suburban or rural providers.

If your work schedule extends beyond standard hours, overnight daycare may be worth exploring for flexible or non-traditional coverage. Not sure if daycare is the right path at all?
