poll - cost of daycare

i will only need part time day care but i figured i would ask for full-time prices since that's what most mom's use.

if you don't mind, please also let me know (in a post) if prices change based on the child's age - i really appreciate this!! thanks!!!

ETA: i did a search and found a good thread but i wanted something with a poll to show DH - thanks again!

I pay $307 full time (m-f) extended hours 6:30am - 7:00pm for a 6 month old. Prices do decrease with age.

Re: poll - cost of daycare

DD is with a babysitter so I'm pretty sure the price won't go down as she gets older, plus we're not paying her as much as daycare centers in my area charge. But all of the daycares that I looked at had slightly reduced prices for older children.

Re: poll - cost of daycare

We have a babysitter who just watches my DD in her home. She has 3 of her own children, 2 of which are in school full time and 1 who is in preschool so is in school part time.

We pay her $50/day. We don't pay her for my planned days off (i'm a teacher) but do pay her if we call in sick due to our own illness.

On a normal week it is $250/week.

I also have to add that we LOVE her. My DD is like a member of her family. She even takes her to mommy & me classes at the library which is walking distance from her house.

Re: poll - cost of daycare

We pay $300 for full time day care, I think it gets a little cheaper when she hits 2, not sure.
I am getting a discount because I pay the bill monthly with my credit card, otherwise its a little more

I thought the same thing, and now I am thinking that maybe someone read it wrong and thought it was how much do you spend per month. At least that is what I hope!

Re: poll - cost of daycare

I pay about $190/week. DD is 19 months. I know that infants under 18 months cost more at my daycare, but DD didn't start daycare until 17 months, and they let us pay the 18 month price instead of the more expensive price for just the 1 month.
