I know this depends on location but wondering what you pay for your infant to 1 year old for daycare?
In the Minneapolis area, I paid $340/week for the infant room (6 weeks to 16 months) and I now pay $320 for the toddler room (16 months-36 months). It is a center, but definitely not the most expensive. I had one place quote me $2600/mo for an infant!
I'm in the Dallas area and I paid $220 per week while my daughter was in the infant program. It's down to $205 per week now that she moved up to the 1-2 year old room.
Infant to 1 year old is the most expensive. In home daycare are less expensive of course but daycare centers charge up to $1,500 per month.
We are an hour outside of NYC and the general rate here (until potty trained) is $210-$225 per week. It goes down after the child is potty trained.
Here in Chicago the going rate for a daycare center is about $275/week for that age.
Chicago - $847 a month up to $1500 depending on daycare facility
I use a home daycare. My kiddos go 3 days a week. We pay $135 a week. My twins are 14months. If my kids were younger I think it would be $175 a week at the same provider.
When my son was in an in-home daycare we paid $150/week. My daughter is in a daycare facility and we paid $160/week when she was an infant.
I live right outside of Boston, and my daycare was $320/wk for an infant to 15 mos - 5 days a week. And that isn't even the most expensive! DD is in the toddler 1 room now and the cost is $290/wk.
Thanks for asking this question! Wow, and here I am complaining about my $160/wk... I imagine the cost of living is much higher in these bigger cities, too (and pay along with that), but ouch! I couldn't imagine paying $200-300 each week! Oh, and I think I'm moving my girl to an in-home center when she turns 3, which will be about $125/wk (and they do pre-school curriculum)!
I pay $150 per week but I have friends that pay alot more ($280) in this same area (Dallas area).
My in-home sitter charges $200 for an infant, $150 for 2-5, and I'm not sure about 5 and older. If my kids went to a daycare center, it would have been more like $300 a week for an infant. Eeek!
From birth to 2 years of age I pay $150.00 per week.
I charge 120 per week.
Where I live now is $250.00 week for day care, but when my 1st child was in day care in Fla., it used to be $144.00 wk; oh how I miss those days :-(
Average in Tampa $1,500 a month.
I am in New Jersey and my 19-month-old is in an in-home daycare. and pay $120 for two days.
