child care cost

Hi!

What is an average cost of full time child care?

I checked out a place today that I loved, but it seems a bit high. $78 a day. About $1500 a month.

Any thoughts?

I live in East Islip and work in Dix Hills if anyone has any reccommendations.

THANKS!!

eta...mind you, I live in England and pay £30 a day, which is around $55 a day...so its probably not that expensive!

Re: child care cost

I don't know if I can help since I live upstate (Westchester/Putnam border) but we pay $1070/month. They were the cheapest, I think, for the hours we needed. The most expensive was $1150. That was for M-F 7am to 6:30pm. That's for a facility not a home daycare. I think most home daycares charge b/t $200 and $250 a week, some $275. I have a friend in Melville who charges about $225 or 250, I forget which.

My son went to Prime Time and it was great there!! Clean, nice teachers, and we never had any problems. This was about 5 years ago.

Actually, you have to pay for extended time at Tutor Time. If you drop off early, it's $85 more per month


5 days at Tutor Time from 5 - 6 is $1100 per month (that's for 6 weeks - 18 months). It goes down to $1,040 for 18-24 months. Again, if you need to drop off before 8:00 a.m. or after 6:00 it's $85 more per month.

$1500 is a little on the high end if you are talking about a daycare center. If you are talking about a Nanny or sitter that comes to your house FT - then that's a fair price.

Daycares average around $1200 on LI.
