Collegeville/Western Suburbs Daycare

I'm hoping someone here could offer me some guidance on how to start looking for daycare in the Collegeville/Trappe area. I am due at the end of September and don't plan to go back to work (in Radnor) until January but I'm not sure what is considered a reasonable price for daycare. DH and I work in opposite directions so daycare close to Collegeville/Trappe makes the most sense for us transportation wise. Any advice on where to look and what to expect to pay would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I work at the YMCA in Audubon, which is a reasonably priced daycare center from what my parents tell me. A week of infant childcare is about $200 a week. Nicer centers are more expensive, and in home centers tend to be a little cheaper. If you can find a family member or a SAHM who wouldn't mind staying home with your child too, that's probably your cheapest option. My stepmom did that when my sisters and brother were little. I am considering doing it too :)

    pp is correct. We spent $168 a week for part time care for our son in Collegeville. I did find that most of the places were really similar in price. So we went with the place where we got the best vibe and felt most comfortable, which is Creative  on main street.

    DD goes to Castle Academy in Skippack, so not far from Trappe/Collegeville.  We honestly love it.  e-mail me at lucydoxie@gmail.com if you want details.  It is 260ish per week for ft infant.

    We currently send our kids to Tot Spot in Collegeville on Rt. 29 after having had my older child in KinderCare for almost two years.  Both are fantastic in my opinion but you'll pay more for a chain like KinderCare where they supply food/diapers/wipes.  For a 2 year old and an Infant part time at Tot Spot we are paying 283/week.  For the same at Kindercare it was going to be well over 400/week which is why we switched.  Now we have to bring lunch for my son and supply diapers and wipes for both but it's still saving us money.
