What is the most you would pay for full-time daycare?

Question

For a really good daycare, full time, what is the most you would pay?

Answer 1

What I’m paying now is really already too high, but I’d pay up to $175 a week if I had no other choice. I currently have my son enrolled in daycare full time, he’s 20 months old and we pay $165 a week. Snacks are included but I have to make his lunch every day.

It’s hard to really say what the highest I would pay because I wouldn’t put a price on my child. We have a rough idea of what we can and cannot afford however, we were paying $135 a week and weren’t happy with that daycare after a long period of time. She was pregnant and totally hormonal. So we pulled him out and now he’s at this current place, he LOVES it, but we’re paying $30 more a week than usual. And it’s hurt us a bit, but my son is HAPPY as can be!!

Answer 2

Depends on the ages of the kids and where you live. Here, some of the best daycares are around $150/week. Depending on how old your child is.  

Answer 3

well I have 2 kids, so I'd say around $350 a week for both of them, any more than that and it just wouldn't be worth going to work (especially considering gas right now)

Answer 4

I pay $175 per week for my 5 year old this summer in Houston TX. It includes their 2 or 3 field trips a month and breakfast and lunch every day. I'd expect it to be cheaper if we lived in a location with a cheaper cost of living though.

Answer 5

200 a week

Answer 6

200/week
