Granted, I'm in TN so cost of living is less overall (and I make less). Currently $461 for 3 days a week for my 2 year old. When baby arrives and goes full time, will be $1400 for both full time. Lunch/snacks and wipes are included in price but we send our own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-daycare-per-month/page/3#post-1928937 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:01:59 +0000 littlebug 1928937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$205/week for one toddler, full-time, including snacks, lunch, and drinks.
