Does anyone know an average price for an at home daycare(5 days a week). I am just starting to look and want to have an idea.

    I've used 3 different home daycares (all good, just took some breaks from work between kids and had to switch caregivers).  The first daycare I used was $50/day or $10/hr for drop in care.  The second daycare was $8/hr and the one I have now is $6.25/hr for more than 20 hours a week and $6.75/hr if less than that.  They were all in the North Shore area.

    What area are you looking at? I'm north of Worcester and we pay $160 a week for 5 days, including snacks, breakfast and lunch.

    Here is the website of licensed home and center providers for the state.  You can look up daycares in your area and many will tell you right on this site what they charge.

    I paid 35/day for 4 days or 140 a week for an in home daycare that the didn't work and now I pay 50/day or 255 a week for 5 days. I am much happier with the pricier one but it's too expensive.

    DS is in pre-school now, but we used 3 different in-home daycares before...in the Braintree area...

    They all were around $50/day, $250/wk including meals only (not when bottle fed).

     HTH!

    I think it depends some on your area. I found one as low as $200/wk, but that was "under the table" so I couldn't use a DFS account to pay for it. Decided on one for about $270/wk (which is about where most of them were). We looked in Natick and Lexington areas.

    I am a licensed home daycare provider in Uxbridge and charge $40/day for full time (5 days/week) and $45/day for 2 days. I provide food but not baby food, formula or diapers and wipes.

     I know Medway area is in the $50/day + range
