Daycare
For those of you that use a daycare, how many days do you plan to use it?
Full time/Part time?
How much is day rate? Part time/ Full time?
Do you use in home daycare or center?
How did you start the process, did you just call for prices, meet with them and find out prices. I am lost on where to start and what price sounds reasonable?

Re: Daycare
Full time/Part time? Full time
How much is day rate? Part time/ Full time? We pay monthly which was cheaper and we got a 100 off a month deal when we signed but I am not sure what we pay exactly. It is around 750-850 a month.
Do you use in home daycare or center? Center
How did you start the process, did you just call for prices, meet with them and find out prices. I am lost on where to start and what price sounds reasonable? I looked at the michigan state site that shows licenses and incidents. I also have a hook up that could inform me on other info. Than I went to the places and asked a bunch of questions/toured.
For those of you that use a daycare, how many days do you plan to use it? we use it 4/5 days per week
Full time/Part time? Full Time, our center only offers full time b/c of the huge wait list.
How much is day rate? Part time/ Full time? We pay $552/month it works out to be like $25/day I think
Do you use in home daycare or center? We are in a center, we get an awesome deal, it is at my place of employement (detroit arsenal - I am a DOD/Army Civilian)
How did you start the process, did you just call for prices, meet with them and find out prices. I am lost on where to start and what price sounds reasonable? I started when I first got pregnant I always knew I wanted to try and get in here b/c it is on location with my job, I was lucky to get in with my first and now I am trying to get my second (due 9/3/10) in. I would pay more for a center b/c I would prefer that to an inhome center, for an inhome center I think $25-$30/day is reasonable, for a center you will probably find more like $50-$60/day is my guess.

How much is day rate? Part time/ Full time? We pay $51/per day. It's less for full-time ... maybe by $5/day. This is our second center. We used to pay $850/month for part-time (or $65/day) ... so the prices can vary. You also get discounts for milestones, such as out of diapers, second child, etc.
Do you use in home daycare or center? Family-owned center
How did you start the process, did you just call for prices, meet with them and find out prices. I am lost on where to start and what price sounds reasonable? I asked for recommendations on here and from friends. I also checked out the state of Michigan's site. For her first daycare, I got info about an open house (it was a new center), and we just knew it was the right place for her. In January, we switched to a center closer to home. Our neighbor's DD already went there and recommended it.
Good luck!
How much is day rate? Part time/ Full time? $30 per day per child, $15 per day if you are there only 1/2 a day
Do you use in home daycare or center? In Home
How did you start the process, did you just call for prices, meet with them and find out prices. I knew I wanted them to be in a in-home daycare and not a center. I started with the Macomb County 4C's website. They list all the licensed daycare's there. I called first, talked to them and got a feel if we 'clicked' Then my husband and myself went on a tour of the ones I liked from the phone interviews. Good luck, I went with my gut, and we found a perfect fit for my kids and family.
