With 2 infants, it sometimes makes sense to consider a nanny for them because she would be about the same $$ and she'd care for them when they wouldn't be able to go to daycare because of illness. Child care is pricey!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206968 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 18:27:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 206968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No discount, just priority for siblings since there's always a wait list for our daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206950 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 18:11:21 +0000 Andrea 206950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours offers 10%! I am excited to use the discount! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206740 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:40:40 +0000 Witz 206740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From the daycare research we conducted, we have seen only 3% - 5%, if any at all (some places offered none). 10% would be awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206708 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:07:28 +0000 sunshineandsushi 206708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The ironic thing is that we were planning to have our kids around 4 years apart so we wouldn't have to deal with this situation! ;) </p> <p>Is it crazy that I'm now researching au pairs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206704 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:04:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 206704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure ours is 10% and I think I read that they only offer a discount for the second child (meaning the third, fourth, etc would not get a discount). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206662 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 13:36:49 +0000 SAHM0811 206662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen anything higher than 10% for a sibling discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206617 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:59:46 +0000 banana 206617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours doesn't offer a discount. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206613 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:58:07 +0000 DillonLion 206613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't really expect any discount. They know they have the upper hand since one of your kids already goes there. What is the alternative? Sending your kids to two different daycares? It just doesn't seem like they have any incentive to offer a discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206609 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:56:06 +0000 MamaMoose 206609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't asked this question since we are pregnant with our first... but it doesn't surprise me that the discount would be quite low. The spot is being taken by a child at a discount when it could be going to a child paying full price, so it wouldn't make business sense for them to give a huge discount when there are only a limited number of spots available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-discount-for-second-child#post-206593 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:48:16 +0000 sunshineandsushi 206593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question to all moms with more than one child in daycare:</p> <p>What type of discount does your daycare offer for the second child? </p> <p>I'm trying to research daycare costs now to prepare ourselves for what is sure to be expensive with twins, and I was shocked to find out one place only offered a 10% discount. Is this really a standard discount? </p>
