Frequently asked questions

There are 3 in-home daycares in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Browse our directory to compare programs, read parent reviews, and find the best option for your child.
In-home daycare (also called family childcare) operates in the provider's residence, serving a smaller group of children in a home setting. Compared to center-based daycare in Philadelphia, in-home programs typically offer lower child-to-caregiver ratios, more flexible schedules, mixed-age groups, and a more home-like environment.
In Pennsylvania, in-home daycare providers are generally required to be licensed or registered if they care for a certain number of unrelated children. Licensed in-home providers must meet standards for safety, background checks, training, and home inspections. Always verify a provider's license status before enrolling your child.
In-home daycare in Philadelphia typically costs $150 to $300 per week — often less than center-based care. The lower cost reflects the smaller operation and lower overhead. Rates vary based on the child's age, hours needed, and whether meals are included.
When selecting a in-home daycare in Philadelphia, consider:
  • Visit the facility in person to observe the environment
  • Ask about teacher qualifications and experience
  • Check licensing status with Pennsylvania's regulatory agency
  • Review the curriculum and daily schedule
  • Read parent reviews for firsthand experiences
  • Compare staff-to-child ratios across facilities
