Which daycares accept 18-month-old babies?

Daycare options for 18-month-old babies are limited but available in Turkey. Daycares generally serve 0-3 year-old groups under names like "baby group" or "infant group." 18 months is often the lower acceptance limit for many daycares — some accept from 12 months, others only from 24 months onward.
Key points to look for when choosing a daycare: groups of no more than 6-8 babies with at least two adults per group, separate sleeping and feeding areas, a program flexible enough to adapt to your baby's routine. Also verify that the daycare has a Ministry of Health license and a work permit from the municipality.
According to current pediatric guidelines, from 18 months onward, a quality daycare environment can be beneficial for social development and language skills. However, every baby is different; it's healthiest to spread the adaptation period over a few weeks while observing.
