I would totally take advantage of that.<br /> We don't get any sort of discounts, even with baby #2.</p> <p>@lawbee11: That's $260/year! That would buy a couple nice pieces of clothing!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597514 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 14:08:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 1597514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think to ask but we probably couldn't afford to pay that much all at once unless it was a seriously significant discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597512 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 14:08:19 +0000 sunny 1597512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I would be worried that if I left the daycare for some reason I wouldn't get my money back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597496 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 14:05:33 +0000 jetsa 1597496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope our lady wants to be paid weekly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597494 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 14:05:10 +0000 plantains 1597494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: same here. I get so mad thinking about all the points and miles I am missing out on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597486 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 14:04:12 +0000 MamaMoose 1597486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Ahhhh gotcha. I just recently checked on mine and had accrued about $1400 so I went ahead and submitted for reimbursement. Then I got depressed over how few weeks I had to submit to get to $1,400. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597475 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 14:02:06 +0000 mediagirl 1597475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: yes. We get a discount for paying 6 months in advance. We always ask and have always received one. Sometimes they run a "special" and we'll take advantage of that if it is higher than what we normally get off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597453 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:55:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 1597453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Very true, but if I was able to do it next year I could use the withholdings from this year to do it for next year. I usually just take the withholdings in a lump sum at the end of the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597446 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:53:57 +0000 Canoli 1597446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They offer a discount for paying with cash/check and for multiple children. We pay monthly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597424 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:46:58 +0000 Adira 1597424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the only discount we'll get is when baby #2 starts and he/she will get a $10/week discount (whoop-de-freaking-do) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597420 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:44:48 +0000 lawbee11 1597420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but we get a whopping $5 discount for the week if we pay on Monday :silly: Every little bit helps, right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597412 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:42:34 +0000 MamaMoose 1597412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: The dependant care account accrues over time though. You couldn't take out the full $5,000 (if you elect to max out withholding) at the time you incur the cost.</p> <p>Our day care doesn't have this option as far as I know. But it would have to be a significant discount (say 15-20%) for me to justify taking that money out of investments in order to pay upfront. And I would also want to know what happens if for some reason you leave the day care, are you fully reimbursed for unused pre-paid tuition? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597404 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:41:07 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1597404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm....that's interesting. I never thought to ask! I'm going to check for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597399 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:39:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 1597399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pay weekly, I don't believe we have the option. Which would be nice since we have an account from work to set money aside non-taxed for daycare expenses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597381 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:33:30 +0000 looch 1597381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if they would have given us that option, we paid weekly.</p> <p>For preschool, we have to pay tuition in two installments, no discounts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycareday-home-give-you-a-discount#post-1597380 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:32:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 1597380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No; I wish!
