Our daycare in an urban neighborhood is $250 a week, but that's the least expensive we've found anywhere near us. The daycare I toured in Midtown by my work was $1500 a month! My brother lives in the suburbs south of Atlanta, and they pay way less than we do in town. </p> <p>I think the 1:4 ratio is mandated for the infant room, but then it can go up from there as they get older? I know all the ones we toured had 1:4 for infants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-going-rate-for-dcp-in-ga#post-2547697 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:00:41 +0000 Smurfette 2547697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think the state ratio is 1:6 actually, but most have 1:4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-going-rate-for-dcp-in-ga#post-2547694 Thu, 12 May 2016 13:58:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2547694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: that makes me feel a little better. I am surprised DCP rates are higher there than here especially since here all the centers have to have a 1:4 ratio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-going-rate-for-dcp-in-ga#post-2547551 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:38:40 +0000 Smurfette 2547551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As an infant she was in the burbs (OTP) near my work, $1210 a month. The rates for infants near the house (ITP) were $1600ish a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-going-rate-for-dcp-in-ga#post-2547539 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:35:09 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2547539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We narrowed down our DCP choice and I was surprised at the variance of the monthly rate $185- $305. The one we are going to do a test run with is $285/ week and has cameras to view the LOs remotely. DH is totally that dad that would leave up a live feed all.day.long. </p> <p>Given the variance between the low and high I wonder what is actually usual in suburban Atlanta. The daycares I checked out near us where we live now were all within $10-15 of each other and for infants were roughly $250. </p> <p>What did/do you pay on a weekly basis for FT infant care? </p>
