<description>&#60;p&#62;I teach preschool at a daycare center and our infant class is about $750/month. Luckily, since I work there I'll get a huge discount.

<description>&#60;p&#62;We have 7$ / a day daycare (that are full)&#60;br /&#62;
and then we have 25$, 35$ and 45$ daycares but the government gives us money back per month to reduce the costs to anywhere from 10-15$ a day.
