I was reading a few daycare cost posts and have gone into shock as naive TTC'er. Hoping to get some perspective from southern moms since I'm in TN which is surely lower cost - how much do you pay a week for day care?

I'm in Central VA, in a bigger city. Daycare center costs range from $240-$350 per week for infants. At home care is about $120-$200 per week.

I'm in West Virginia, so a relatively low cost state, but my area
is a little more expensive. Daycares here range from 150-208 dollars a week!

I'm in TX and it was 200 a month for an infant, but I found pretty big price difference depending on WHERE we wanted to put her (upper middle class suburb vs middle class suburb). So, it just depends where and what you are looking at. I have also seen daycares who advertise 125 a week.

LO isn't in daycare right now, but having looked into it a bit just in case our situation changes, it seems like prices range from about 125 to 250/week. We're in Knoxville!

I'm in TX (DFW area) and we paid $275/week for newborn and now in young toddlers are paying $270/week (incl breakfast). There are cheaper places, but we really like this place and their program.

@BabyBoecksMom: I always assumed in house would be more expensive and thus out of my price range! Do you know the person or is it just cheaper?
