Average cost of daycare?
I am looking into daycare starting in Jan and I have no clue what the average cost is. Looking at probably 4 full days.

Re: Average cost of daycare?
The places I looked at did either 3 days or 5 days. I am due in January and signed up for daycare for Sept of '08 It will cost us $1080 a month. From what I have seen it is pretty reasonable.

Re: Average cost of daycare?
You can look at this link:
http://www.childcarenassau.org/
According to their site, the average for Nassau County is $240 per week for a very young child (I'm assuming that's 5 days). This is an average.
Depressing--once I go back to work about half my take home pay will go to daycare!

If it is $425 a week, there is absolutely no point in my going back to work (unless I want to for myself, and at this point, I don't).

I am going to go look at a place today @ 3:30. They are $300 a week FT for an infant. We only need 3 days a week so we will discuss price when I go.

Re: Average cost of daycare?
I think we should have an official list with all this information as we all do our research:
Name of Daycare:
Town:
Monthly Cost:
Hours of Operation:
Would you recommend? If not, why?

Re: Average cost of daycare?
For 3 days a week, I am finding most places to be between $800 and $900 a month. For full time, between $1100 and $1500 a month.

Re: Average cost of daycare?
Just a question is 3 days the minimum most day cares will allow. Can you have 3 days one week and 2 days another or no? Just curious.

I'm sure you could but you would still pay the 3 day rate.
My daycare is $245 a week full time. It's sparkling new and she starts next week and I know she is going to love it!
Most centers don't even do a p/t schedule since they don't share cribs and you are paying for your crib basically.

That's the same thing I said when I found out how much it costs. I'd have to pay even more though, because I'll have 2 kids!
