We pay $250 a week and meals are included. A friend of mine pays $25/day, though. Most in my area were in the $200 range

It might be more helpful if the answers included an average of what the cost would be compared to daycare center so you could compare.

Here, a center is $225 to 300+ a week; most full time in-home daycares advertise around $150-175/wk

When we were looking at daycares, the in-home we toured was $1400/month. We ended up going with a center, for various reasons, and at the time it was one of the lower-priced centers around at $1775/month. Those prices were for infant care. Once the kids were eating solid foods, both prices included meals and snacks. Unfortunately, a grant our center used to receive expired, so the prices are much higher now -- the infant room is right around $2000/month, I think. Not sure how much the in-home has changed, but the woman who runs it has expanded it significantly (is planning to open one or two new "retail" locations in addition to the one in her house and has hired several employees) so now it's more like a small center anyway.

We pay $315/week and meals are included. Her hours are flexible and DS is there 7-5:30. I'm in the Boston area and that's on a less expensive side.

We pay $135/week for preschool aged child. She does breakfast, lunch, and snacks. We don't use breakfast cause we don't drop him off that early. Her hours are 7-5, but willing to keep him later if I can't get there by 5.
We live in Minnesota suburbs. Comparable rates for preschool center is $175-$200/week

We have a licenced dayhome, and we pay 900 for our toddler and 1000 for our baby a month. Food is included, hours are from 7;30 am to 5:00 pm. They're closed on stats, but no other holidays (although they are usually closed over Christmas because no one comes).

We use a nanny because of my hours and part time work status but when we were considering in home care, they ranged from $55-70/day per child, meals and snacks included. Centers are significantly more expensive. We are just north of Boston.

We are in South Western Ontario. We pay 215$ a week for home daycare. It is 7:30-4:30 and I life's all drinks, snacks and hot lunch. It is a teacher day care so we don't pay/send her over the summer or Christmas holidays/March Break. It's a few dollars more a day than a typical home day care. Centers are about 275$ a week.
