Child Care and Day Care Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

This center is really nice and well kept. I first thought the prices were really high, but considering the location, the prices are average. My child started here when at the age of 2. Within the first week of starting, my child was fully potty trained. Also, I must say my child is much more advanced that other kids in my family. The curriculum they use is AWESOME!

In NYC daycare costs are about $475 a week or $1800 per month. Hours are 8A - 6P
Nannies are $12-15 per hour per child ...average $700 per week or $2400 a month.
NY does not have subsidized UPK.
Also you have to earn under $25K as a single parent or $50K
as a couple to qualify for govt subsidized programs where your daycare would be about $50 a week or $200 per month.
However there is a year or more waitlist.
Most middle class parents pay more for daycare than rent/ mortgage! If you are Upper Middle Class and make over $200K as a couple & pay an average of $5k per month in rent/mortgage, your daycare costs will be about $2400 per month

Kids are there only before and after school. Total hours there 11.5 hours per week and they charge me full price

Part-time before/after care. Breakfast is provided daily. Numerous activities are set up for the end of school day to keep children active. Caregivers also help with homework. This is a great program at a great price! Paid $550/month + $64/month membership fee at the local Y and was not impressed!

The price posted is for a full time infant ages 6 weeks through 12 months. The part time rate for the same age group is $425.88.

F/T for 3 years - 4 years is $486.16, P/T is $380.32,

Both of my children have gone to this D/C since they were infants. However, now I'm thinking after this year (our 4.5's last year there), we may pull our 1.5 y/o out. They charge $50 registration fee every Sept. (I saw most other places in our area charge $40), PLUS all 3.5-5 y/o classes have to pay an EXTRA $50 in September & then ANOTHER $50 in January for so-called "learning fees". On top of this, they are raising the prices this year. Which would make our monthly payments (withOUT the 3 extra fees) about $1850/month.

I hope someone can help with this topic. I am a SAHG-grandma. I need to be paid to watch my Grandchildren. I want to know how much people have paid for infants, toddlers, preschoolers. I take them to playgroups, nursery school, museums, every week we do a learning experience and a playground. Plus, what I do with them everyday. In spent is what I am paid currently.

We have gone down in price every year. As an 11-month old (first enrolled) we paid $1070/month. We're down to $809 for Pre-K (same school). In-home daycares in our area are cheaper, but we were more comfortable with a reputable center.

Excellent home daycare. I have two children enrolled and $700.00 a month. The centers would charge me on average about $920.00 a month for two and they don't do night care. They have flexible hours and does weekend care if ever needed.

Wow infant care is expensive here $282 a week only offer full time. Guarantee 1:5 ratio

Offers part time infant care for $55 a day. I send my son 2 days a week. The staff is really caring and all love my son so much!

Kindercare sucks. My son hated it. Way too many kids with not enough one on one attention. Cried when we dropped him off and ready to leave as soon as we were there to pick up. Doesn't do this at the new daycare

Although we are not related by blood we consider Grammy family. My daughter is absolutely in love with Grammy and all of the kids that she sits! I wouldn't have my daughter anywhere else.

Was a wonderful school until they closed down two days after i paid my fee!! What a hurtful feeling i want my money back!

Cost is 325 per week. That includes meals. In this area this is one of the best daycares I found. So you pay for quality staff.

Cost is $204/week. Includes 2 snacks, lunch, diapers, and preschool curriculum.

I am not eligible for a subsidy and this is the cost in Seattle for daycare. I've shopped around and a home daycare will save you arouand $100. My child has learned so much more from a structured classroom environment. From infant age until the time the child is accepted into the 2yr old class (e.t.a. depends on waiting list to that class)it's $1050/mo.

I feel safe to know I drop my daughter off every day in a loving environment. She has been there since she was 6 weeks old.
She is treated like she is family. All the teachers greet her with a smile
The education is great and she is also learning portuguese.

This is a great daycare that supplies snacks for the kids and costs $30/day per child, which is as affordable as you can get. The teachers are great and the staff is great also. They have field trips and special days of activities. They also have a pre-school which is the same price. The hours in the summer when my kids go is 7-5:15 PM.

Busy Moms Day Care Center (Evergreen, San Jose) is a family day care home running by 2 full time teachers and 2 part time teachers, they provide wonderful environment for kids' education and the free lunch is beloved!! They provide free diaper and daily regular nutritional snack and drink. My son like this center more than our home!!:-) The rate is age based and very reasonable and some time negotiable. Strongly recommended.

The difference between in-home care and childcare centers is very large, which led us to the in-home care option at least while our daughter is under 1 year of age. We will be moving her to Primrose after her birthday, which will increase our monthly payment to $1300.00/month.

Excellent center!!! Its located off big bethel rd in hampton va.My child has been in this center since they were an infant and I've loved it ever since. Each day I receive a sheet saying what they did for the day and what they had for lunch and even how much he ate!!! Highly recommended by me to all my friends.

why would you pay this rather then hire a competent person to come to your home and keep the babies in their own environment...especially for this kind of money. There are "grandmothers" that would love to have this position with so much love to give..

This is a christian daycare for children 6 weeks to school age. They also have after care. they provide breakfast, lunch and snacks.This is a very clean center,the teachers are great too. I enjoyed having my son there.

Great Great Great!

Wonderful place very affordable but great care
