Pls come in If you send your DC to Tutor Time for daycare!

Right now DS (15 months old) is going to daycare 5 days a week from 8:15am - 5:15pm at an in-home daycare. It's convenient and all, but to be honest I'm not thrilled with her lately and she's off the books and refuses to take checks, so I wont even be able to claim childcare on my taxes if I continue to use her.

There's a Tutor Time literally across the street from my office and I've emailed and called them several times to get prices, but no one has gotten back to me. For those of you who send your DC to a Tutor Time full-time, would you mind posting or FMing me with what they charge per child? And what you must provide them with vs. what they provide for the children? If it's within my budget, I think I may go and meet with them this week.

TIA!

We go to the East Rockaway and and at DS's age they provide all meals, snacks and drinks.......we pay $245 or so for full time.

For a 15 month old it's a little more and you may still have to provide some meals and snacks.....

Re: Pls come in If you send your DC to Tutor Time for daycare!

My DS is 11 months so it's more expensive then your son would be. Full time early drop off is $1407 per month.

They provide all the food and milk.

I can't say enough about the one that DS goes to. The love that John gets is worth every penny!!

ETA: at 15 months if he is on all table food and whole milk.. you don't have to provide any food.

I would give them a ring - it's the best way to find out.

Re: Pls come in If you send your DC to Tutor Time for daycare!

I find that all the Tutor Times are different. Like ours doesn't charge extra for early pickup and drop off, you can come anytime they are open.

My son goes to a tutor time and I absolutely love it! We pay weekly, 8-6:30 (although we pick him up around 4) and it is $268 a week.

This is his 3rd place (first was an in-home daycare, off the books and we had a horrible experience, 2nd was a kiddie academy that we liked and one day we showed up and the doors were locked!)

I can say we like Tutor TIme much more than the Kiddie Academy that he went to-and we were pretty happy there too. He has learned so much at TT. They even taught him how to zip his jacket and he is 2 1/2. I have children in my Kindergarten class that can't zip their coats!

When we were looking for a daycare we just showed up unannounced to see what would happen. We did that on purpose so that we caught them off guard and actually saw what typically went on and how they handled us just showing up. We were pleasantly surprised.

We provide diapers and wipes and they provide everything else. HTH

Infants (up to 18 months) are $330 per week for full time care (extended hours are included - 6:30am-6pm- whether you need them or not.) They provide all meals/snacks/drinks.

I looked at 3 different Tutor Time locations when I was getting ready to put DD in daycare, and they each had different prices.

Thank you to everyone who responded here and those who sent me FMs. I went on my lunch break to visit the one closest to me and I was so impressed! The director was fantastic, the facility was clean and adorable, the teacher that would have DS was so enthusiastic and informative, and overall they just seemed so caring and so loving to the children. I actually walked out of there excited to enroll him!! I think its a really great environment for him and after seeing TT I realized even more that the daycare he is at right now is not for him.

So glad you liked it! I have been really happy with the Tutor Time my son goes to and he has learned more than I even imagined possible at his age. Good luck with the transition!
