Reduced Daycare Price for Second Child?

Perfect Sonnet

Do any of your daycares offer a reduced cost for the second child? 

I feel like this is something I have heard of happening.  We are talking about baby #2 coming along in 2015.  We will probably move our daughter into a center/preschool environment (she is in a small home daycare now) at about the same time.  I don't know if entering them into the same daycare at the same time would mean that #2's price is reduced or if we would have #1 in the new daycare for a while in order for it to "count".

Sorry if this questions makes zero sense and thanks for any feedback.

Our daycare gives a 10% discount off the lower tuition for 2+ children enrolled full-time.  I think that if a daycare offered a discount it would apply as soon as you had both kids in there, no waiting period.

My DC only offers a 5% discount and it's on the cheaper tuition which is the older child.

We have the exact same deal at our daycare.

10% seems pretty standard for day care, camps, pre-schools, etc

We get 15% off our TOTAL bill for having two kids enrolled and it doesn't matter how long they've been enrolled.

Thanks, everyone!  It is nice to have an idea of what to expect.

No discount offered at our center, unfortunately.

In my area, the discount is generally 5-10% off the cheaper of the two tuitions and most places do offer a discount. However, in my area, many preschools don't offer infant care, probably because the licensing requirements for caring for kids under 2 are so much more strict, so a lot of families find themselves using two childcare locations and thus no discount. But if you have a place that takes both infants and preschoolers, then there's usually a sibling discount.

This is same for us so long as both kids are registered as full time. Our daycare has a part time option (less them 31 hours, $7 per your) as well
