Daycare Centers

Can anyone give me an idea what rates are for daycare centers (infant and toddler care) in the areas around Renton and Bellevue? 

I have heard $2k+ monthly per child for Bright Horizons and seriously hope that there are more affordable options?

Any suggestions would be so appreciated!

    On meetup.com, there is Greater Seattle Working Moms and Eastside Working Moms.  And there is a facebook group for Greater Seattle Working Moms.

    I live in Redmond and The "cheapest place" I have been to is 1800$ per infant a month at Kinder Care.  I also went to bright horizons and it was $2235 per infant a month.  I have to say, the difference between the two is huge....not only in money but in the atmosphere.   Most daycares I have been to have been $2000+.  I am having twins and I think my husband and I are feeling that using a nanny will work better for us.  It is such a stressful topic because we obviously want to be money conscience but want to feel good about where we take our babies.  
    If you find a place that you feel comfortable with that doesn't charge more than 2k+, let me know :)

    Have you considered an au pair instead of a nanny? Of course they would live with you so you would need the space and feel comfortable with another adult living there but it seems to be a LOT less expensive than nanny wages in Seattle. The bonus is that your kids would be exposed to a second language from birth.

    I am pretty set on daycare because I love the socialization aspect and it has been great for my two year old but at some point a nanny/au pair is just more convenient and affordable.
