DH and I considered places in KCMO and found the cheapest at $500/month (very, very cheap) for in-home daycare to about $1,000/month for a private facility for infants (up to 2 years).
Daycare is crazy expensive as I am quickly finding out! The cheapest I have seen is $550/month. I have no clue what we are going to do by losing that much income a month. This pregnancy was not planned so I am kind of freaking out! How are you all affording this huge cost??
Daycare is so expensive here that it ends up being cheaper for me to stay home. It currently is $200 or so per week, but now that Lexie's Law is in effect, I wonder if it will become more expensive.
So glad I live in a small town... 75-100/week for center care (depending on where you go) and 25/day for home daycare is pretty normal. Still a chunk of cash, but better than the 1000/month my sister pays in KC!!
Re: Daycare costs
I just recently was looking at home daycares too and they were $200/week as well!!
