Just curious, does your daycare give a discount for more than 1 child? I am mainly asking for in home daycares but curious in general. I am more or less trying to see what the norm is. Not sure if its geographical at all too.
Ours does, it's 10% which will equal $146 per month. We also get to maintain my husbands 10% off our oldest, so another $120 each month. We are still spending a small fortune, but I just remind myself it could be a lot worse.
Hallelujah, it's a miracle, I have children AND a signature!
The only discount we get is the week of Christmas and Easter is free because its closed and they hold their places in summer since as teachers they don't need to be there.
We are in a small center (around 15 kids total). We pay a flat-rate each week that doesn't go down with age (common draw for larger centers). For one child it is $120/wk. For two children it is $220/wk (so savings of $20 a wk). For three children it is $330/wk (savings of $30 a wk). We live in a low-cost of living area and our center is site-based through the school system where I teach. There is one employee daycare per high school cluster.
Wow. This sounds heavenly to me...

Ours does. We have small in home daycare and the second will be half price and third will be half again (or a fourth of the price of number 1). I'm pretty sure this is not normal.
