About €62/week which is about $90ish. Here, daycare is heavily subsidized by the local government regardless of income.

The infant room is $1660/mo with my affiliation discount, so roughly $400/week. The regular price is $1695, I think. It goes down by about $100/mo as they move into older rooms. We're in downtown Seattle, and this is one of the less expensive centers in the vicinity of DH's and my offices.

@littlek: haha I was going to say if I lived near where you live one of us would be SAH after #2 arrives! What are the ranges of daycares in your area? Obviously you get what you pay for and I know your center is a really good one with an awesome food menu!

@locavore_mama: ours is mid tier. There are 2 that cost more: creme de le creme and beantree. That's about $500 a week for infant. Lower range is about $350 a week for infant.

When we were looking at a private center it was 260 for 3 days- but we ended up going with an in home and its $120 for 3 -- 6 hour days.

I did not vote because my son only goes part time. He goes for only 3h a day, 3 days a week, so 9h TOTAL. I pay $60/w for 9h which comes out to 6.70ish an hour. So, I am assuming if he were there for 40h, it would be something like $266
ETA: If my son did go full-time, he wouldn't go here. I don't love everything about them to let him go full-time (nap routines, lunches...). I'd have to cough up the dough and take him somewhere else if full timewere our situation.

$1400/month for 4 days a week - so about $350/week. It's a Goddard in the NYC suburbs. LO moves up to the toddler room next week, so the price will finally go down a bit!

Around $250 per week, food is included as soon as they can eat off the menu. The teachers are awesome and worth every penny!

$395/wk*includes milk and snacks, no lunch. Does not include diapers or wipes. We are in suburban MD. *We fortunately do not pay this as we get a subsidy based on my husband's job.

Ours was 208 week for infant care. We use an in home now that is much less, but if there was a center near us that I liked she would be in there. Unfortunately we moved to a city that has no daycare options at all!

I don't have J in a center but I have researched extensively for when he will be.
The one we're considering is $183/wk for 5 days, for toddlers. Four days is $179.
My dream center is $205/week for toddlers.
Both provide meals, though not exactly healthy ones.

Alberta. It will be $950/month for my 12 month old. He will be in the infant room and nothing is provided as far as food.

@littlebug: Ah! That is more affordable than most of the daycares I found in the Philly suburbs!
We pay $165 for 3 days/week. I think it's $275 for full time.
Eta: Up to us to provide food/diapers/wipes, etc.

At a Centre it's 7$ a day so 35$/week. This is set by the province.
ETA: I use an in-home daycare at 25$/day and 75% of the monthly cost is subsidized according to income (390$/month).
