Hey all I posted this on the Chicago board but since they dont see a ton of traffic I also wanted to try over here. My husband has this idea in his head that childcare will be much cheaper out in the suburbs that in it is the city, he thinks the 210-270 a week I am finding in the city is totally out there.
I just wanted to get some perspective from those of you living out in either the Northwest or Western suburbs about what you are paying currently for childcare. If you have an infant or a child under 2 I would be especially interested. Even if you aren't living in Chicago but are in a Metro area that info would be helpful. Thanks for the help!
Re: Daycare or Home Daycare costs in Chicago area?
I live in the western suburbs. $210 to $270 a week seems reasonable to me. We live in the far western suburbs and daycare here is a little bit cheaper than in the closer in western suburbs. I priced both since I work in a closer suburb. I've reserved a spot in a daycare close to our house that is about $230 a week. I found daycares that would be over $300 a week.
