@daniellemybelle: Their fees change with hours, but most fall into the 4-10 hours which is what our listed cost is for. I don't even know if they would let us do less than 4 hours for another price though. Every hour outside the 10 hours (or before or after our set 10 hour period) is $3. So since our set hours are 9-7 if I picked her up at 8 for some reason it would add $3. I know they're only open to his employer's employees during the day but they open up to others on nights/weekends (I think they're open like 5 am to 11pm!) and I think those people pay more.

Man, I am glad we live where we do with young children. We pay slightly less than €600/month for 2 LOs in full time care, although the younger LO currently goes reduced hours but will go full time in the fall at the same price. The city subsidizes half of childcare costs (they pay the daycare, not me), so I know where my tax money is going.

Our infant is $300/week and our Pre-schooler is $240/week. Infant does not include food until she starts eating full table food.

@MrsLonghorn: I work for a school district and get to use the district's childcare center. They claim to be 10% below local market value.

Reading this makes me depressed at how much we pay for our daycare, though we love it. We also live in a very expensive area. We do get a 10% sibling discount off the most expensive tuition. Still, we're paying $4250 a month!
LO2 - infant room, $2350/month - includes diapers
LO1 - 2 to 3 year old room, $2150/month - includes diapers but she's potty-trained. She'll move to 3 to 5 year old room this fall at some point, so that'll be $1650, I think.

We pay monthly, but it works out to $1350 or near to that (they just changed rates, and I can't remember exactly what it is). Preschool, FT

Just found out it's actually cheaper than I thought because there's a ft discount. Woot!
@yellowbird: wow! So cheap; is this full time??

We pay $290 a month for 3 days a week. This is very low compared to other centers in my area. We're in Northern Idaho.

We pay $1300/mo for our half of a nanny share (plus a little extra for our share of the monthly taxes + our tax preparation). It's cheaper than the "good" centers we checked out so we're happy with the cost, comparatively anyway!

$330/week in the infant room of a small center. This includes a 10% discount subsidized by my husband's employer. Doesn't include anything, but it is significantly cheaper than other options. We're in a Boston suburb.

Right now we pay $312/week for a toddler. When we have baby 2, it should be $511/week (preschool + infant care).

I think its $1575/month for our toddler which works out to around $395/week.

We pay $2.25/hr and only for the hours that our son is there, which ends up being 45 hours a week. It used to be $2.75/hr until he turned 2 years old. We have paid on average between $100-$130 per week. Now that the price has gone down it should stay around the $100 per week mark!

It will be $184/week for an infant when LO gets here. I'm in the suburbs but closer to the country than the city. I have a friend who has LO's is going to a daycare a couple miles away for $170 per kid.. but they can only be there 7 hours a day. I rather have the flexibility of going beyond 7 hours then having the extra $14 a week!
