Child care near Philadelphia

Question

Hello everyone! I'm starting to plan/ budget for child care (infant care really). Can anyone who lives in/ around Philadelphia (within 20-25 miles of center city) recommend some good child care centers or give me some insight as to rates, I would really appreciate it.

Every center website I've looked at is so secretive about their rates!

Thanks!

Answer 1

Most center are secretive about rates.  I've never understood why...But, I've been told it's because the center want the parents to see what they have to offer and what the parents are paying for.   However, if you can not afford a center rates, it's a waist of your time, and theirs to go on a tour of the center.

I don't live close to Philadelphia, as I'm in VA. However, rate here can run anywhere between $190 and $355 a week. - The latter is a very high end daycare center with outdoor water park, and art, and music classes in their own classrooms. Along with an indoor gym and dance room.

Good Luck.
