My kids currently have a family member who is nanny to them. I expect my situation to change soon and am wondering about the cost of in home day care to twin two year olds in the north metro or Mpls/St. Paul metro area.
My daycare charges $125/child no matter what age. That's about the cheapest I've seen. She has raised her rates to $130/child though. If you need to find licensed daycares this website helped me: http://licensinglookup.dhs.state.mn.us/
We live in the Como area of St. Paul, and our daycare is $145 a week, no matter what the age. Our provider runs her daycare out of her home, but she runs it very much like a center with music classes one time per week, Spanish, sign language, etc. I think she's extremely reasonable considering all of that. Many of my friends who have their children in centers pay upwards of $175-250 a week. Take care.
I know two ladies who run in-home daycares, one in Brooklyn Park (on the border of Maple Grove), and one in Brooklyn Center (whos husband is a BC police officer). One charges $140 per child/week full-time, the other charges $170 per child/week full-time. I highly recommend the lady in Brooklyn Park. Let me know if you want her contact information!
Good luck!
PS - both of these rates are for 2 year olds.
I pay $115/week for my 2 year old in Ramsey.
It really depends on where you go. My daycare is about 100 per week for our son who is 2 and when we were looking for daycare almost 2 years ago I found inhome daycares anywhere from 100 (our daycare) to over 250 per week. If you are close to Vadnais Heights I can give you our daycare provider's name and number.
