Daycare - opposite sticker shock?

Melaneigh1 · March 2010

I think that's what I can call my reaction to a conversation with a co-worker about daycare prices in our area.

Her little boy goes to the least expensive place in town and she pays $55 a week. I'm actually familiar with the owners and directors of that place, and they are wonderful.

Now, I have no idea if her rate was adjusted to income, but she told me even the most expensive places around here are abut $120 a week.

We have a lot of research to do, but I'm suddenly optimistic.

How old is her son?

Though they don't have anything that cheap here, most of them are around 125-150/wk.

That is incredibly cheap. If we qualified for assistance it might be that price but we qualify for nothing so we pay about $400 a month PART TIME.

The church daycare I wanted to put DS in was 100 a week for all 5 days or 150 a month for 3 half days a week. I SO wanted to get him in there.

We pay $95 for in-home. I am very, very grateful. Centers around here run $155-170.
