Is this common? I just called a daycare near me its one of The Learning Experience chain and they refused to give rates over the phone. This surprised me because all the other daycares I called gave me their rates right away

That is odd. All the daycare centres have provided me with their fees over the phone.

That is very strange! What are they doing to do... check you out in person and decide how much they think they can charge you?
I'm guessing that the reason they don't is because they want to force you to come in for visit so they can give you a full sales pitch before giving their prices. Which implies to me that they have high prices that they know they really need to work hard to justify.

That is odd. When we looked at daycares they provided the amount over the phone.

Yeah I thought it was a bit odd. @MamaMoose: You are probably right, they are going to be expensive and think they can convince people of the price by showing us how amazing it is.

That's weird. Even the highest priced centers in my area will give out rates over the phone- if they're really that good, they know they can fill those spots easily enough despite the prices

Yeah that's pretty odd. All the daycares I contacted happily provided me with a rate over the phone. One daycare charged twice as much as others and tried hard to persuade me to come in for a visit so they could justify the cost.

That probably means it's pricey. Try this trick I used while planning my wedding - ask them to make an exception for you since you're shopping daycares long distance so you will probably be putting in a deposit before visiting the center since you aren't able to tour them first. That always got vendors to cough up their rates since they knew if they didn't I couldn't even use them.
