$1032 (just did our weekly x 4)...this includes breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks. DC hours are 6:30am-6:30pm...
-
ds (17mo) is $1780/month and dd is $1300/month
and its not even one of the best or most expensive daycare/preschools around here which is sad! can't wait til ds turns 2 when it'll drop a couple hundred

I voted $0 because we're doing Grandma care right now, but last year we were doing a combo of nanny and grandma and were paying around $400/mo for the nanny (about 15 hrs/week).
ETA: Daycare prices scare the crap out of me and I have no idea how we would do it if we didn't have my mom!
-
$1800 per month for the toddler room. Our daycare is in downtown Seattle and the cost is on the lower end of average.
-
Wow, that is cheaper than our after school care (I just looked into it since DD is starting Kindergarten this fall!).
I think we really lucked out. We live in a high cost of living area (CA), but pay $800/month at a center. Full-time care 7:30-6 pm, with breakfast, lunch, drinks, and snacks provided.
-
We pay $1300/month just outside of Boston at an in-home daycare.
-
$692/ month... we pay $173/ week at a privately owned center that also qualifies for state programs. She's almost 2 1/2 and is there full day with breakfast and lunch included. Were about 30 minutes north of philadelphia. I am so lucky I found this place.
-
I voted $901-1100. It's actually more than that but, because we have two in the same daycare, and we pay 8 months in advance for both of them, we end up getting a 30% discount on the price of tuition.
-
1,250 and includes wipes and snacks. 7:30 - 6. I wish they opened earlier though!!
-
Ugh, my baby isn't even born yet and we are looking at centers now. Our options are range from $1392/month to $1715/month
-
For our 20 month old, at a center just outside Chicago, we pay $1020/month. We plan to switch him to a pre-school/daycare in June and that will be about $1300/month.
-
Yeah I would definitely think your poll could go a lot higher. We pay a little over $1400/mo for full time infant care, and that's in one of the cheapest centers in our region, *and* a 20% discount through my husband's employer (normal rate for full time infant care at that center would be $1760/mo). Most daycare centers we toured were closer to, or above, $2000/mo.
-
Depends on how many working days in the month but we pay 25 bucks a day so next month is 525 and the month after is 575. This is for full time infant care.
-
$940 for Montessori school ... M-Th 8:15-3:30 (28 hours per week). Includes 2 snacks & lunch.
I sometimes do extended days for an entire month (5:30 pickup), which costs $1,175.
This is in Portland, Ore.
-
590/month for 1, 1300 for both
-
Grandma care isn't always free!
-
I am shocked by most replies.
We are in Ohio. We pay $660 a month for our full time two year old. It includes all food and snacks. The baby will be $780 a month.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Didn't say it was? I imagine most 'free' daycare is grandma-care, and if it's not free than they're are $ amounts to vote for?
Wish my mom lived closer so I could take advantage of grandma care.
-
$775 for 4 days a week. Can't think about what it will be in June when baby 2 starts!
-
We pay $1205 full-time for a toddler (8 hours) in western NY. The most expensive price at our center is $1465 for 9+ hours of full-time infant care.
-
@psw27: LOL. It pains me to think about how much we spend, and I know lots of people pay more than we do!
@GreeneB2: the idea of daycare for 2 gives me hives. But we love DD's experience at her school, and we want the next one to have that, too!
-
@josina: I voted in the poll too. I wish my grandma care was free though.
-
Uh we had grandma care 3 days a week and it cost us more than any other option.
Now DS is at a state certified in home daycare for $1000 a month with 2 snacks and lunch provided....but you pay for all holidays and any days missed. This month between MLK and being sent home sick, they got 5 days paid for free!
Add that to our back up sitter who we have to pay $13 an hour, and it's more like $1200 this month.
A nationally accredited center in our area is like $1600-1800 a month. But the wait lists for those centers are 18 months long!
We will be switching DS to a 2's program at a local church preschool in September and that is currently $755 a month and they provide two snacks, you bring lunch. Infant toddler care there (where we hope to get LO2 who I am 6 months pregnant with into before the age of 1) is $900 a month and you provide every single thing.
and its not even one of the best or most expensive daycare/preschools around here which is sad! can't wait til ds turns 2 when it'll drop a couple hundred
