Cost of Daycare in KC?

ashleyb0604 · January 2010

Hi Ladies! MIL is actually staying home with LO when I go back to work, but we have no idea what to pay her. We want it to be a fair rate compared to the local area. Would anyone care to share the rates they've found from local daycares or nannies?

Thanks!

The DC my duo were in the first few months I was back to work was roughly $1000 a month. Since August though they have been staying home. DH doesn't have to leave for work until 1:30pm so he is home with them in the mornings, my MIL comes over two days a week so we don't have to pay a nanny for those days. So that all being said, we have a nanny for 15 hours tops a week and pay her $10 an hour. When she is here though, she has it easy. They are already done with lunch and are getting ready to go down for a nap when she arrives. They sleep for about 2 hours and then it is just snack and play time until I get home. So our of the 5 hours she is there, about half of it is during naps.

We have a friend watch our little guy and it is $125 per week... a regular brick and mortar daycare seems to run about $190 for infants... home daycares seem to be much cheaper

We pay $150/week for an in-home care center for our little one. The provider has a max of 4 children (currently only 3 though). Our almost 4-yr old daughter goes to "preschool" at a YMCA early learning center, and hers costs $155/week ($10/week discount since we're Y members). They have different rates for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, and I believe infants run about $225/week.
