Frequently Asked Questions

How many licensed infant daycares are in Los Osos?
Los Osos has 8 licensed childcare providers that serve infants and toddlers (ages 0–2). This includes dedicated Infant Centers and Family Child Care Homes whose licenses cover infant care.
What's the difference between an Infant Center and a Family Child Care Home for infant care?
Infant Centers are commercial facilities dedicated to babies and toddlers with lower child-to-staff ratios (typically 1:4 for infants) and infant-trained caregivers. Family Child Care Homes run from the caregiver's private residence with smaller mixed-age groups — often more flexible hours and a home-like feel.

Typical monthly tuition for infant care in San Luis Obispo County is about $1,488 at a center and $1,008 at a family child care home (based on 2022 benchmark data). Actual rates vary by facility, schedule, and whether meals are included.
What should I look for when visiting an infant daycare?
Check the caregiver-to-infant ratio (state requires 1:4 or better for infants), look at the nap and feeding setup, ask about diaper changes and feeding schedules, review the facility's inspection history on its detail page, and trust your gut on how caregivers interact with the babies present during your tour.
