So, DS is about to move up to the toddler room and we are being told that the rate will not change. When DD transitioned a couple of years ago there was a decent tuition difference between the infant room and the toddler room. Our center says it is a corporate change for Bright Horizons nationwide. Just curious if anyone else is seeing this, because it sounds weird to me based on the difference in ratios.
ETA: WA state ratios are 1:4 for infants and 1:7 for toddlers, so it's a big difference...
Re: If you use Bright Horizons - infant/toddler rates?
DD was in an infant room until early January, we were paying ~$1100/month for that. She is now in the toddler room for about $1000/month.
Also, from my experience Bright Horizons is full of sh*t about most of their policies. Our BH tells us that they have all kinds of 'corporate' policies that, upon my investigation, other BH centers do not have.

BH, in general, offers great child care, but at the same time I have had many frustrations with them.

Thank you - that is exactly how I feel. It just sounds and feels like a line of BS, and it would not be the first time.
Infant is $2,136
Toddler is $1,912

Unfortunately, no. Everyone pays the same rates and rate increases go into effect at the same time each year for everyone. There may be special circumstances out there that are exceptions, but I am definitely not one of them.
All this, except full week monthly tuition drops $117 from infant to toddler.
