What is the tuition for your daycare center?

Question

I'm especially interested in the cost of chain daycares, like Kindercare and La petite Academy. (I'm in Southern Wisconsin)

Answer 1

my son is 2 yrs. old and goes to a local daycare and his tuition is $160 a week. we live in northwest arkansas

Answer 2

SRLDP - Student Readiness Language Development Program is a federal government program that is free for 4 years olds and their parents.  It is a preschool program that is part of the elementary school program Teachers are credentialed and must follow a state standard based curriculum. The teacher child ratio is low.  A full time education aide is also present, 15 children per class, 3 hours daily. There is a catch however, parents must volunteer in the classroom twice a month and assist 10 weeks of parent education classes.  Therefore, not everyone can attend.  There are no economic or educational requirements that a child or family must meet in order to qualify. A parent and/or substitute must commit to volunteering in their child's classroom and attending classes.  The program is extremely successful.  Unfortunately not every elementary school child can attend because of limited space and a long waiting list.

Answer 3

California- LaPetite and Kindercare run about neck and neck as for prices.

Infant care being the most pricey at $230 a week. Then it goes down in price the older the child gets.

Answer 4

We live in Rockford, IL, so maybe this is somewhat close to you.  My daughter attends a church-based private daycare and it is $170/week (she is 23 months).  It will decrease to $165/week when she hits 2 years old.  

I looked into sending my daughter to Kinder Care at one point and I think the cost there is $220.  However, I do not know what age group this is for.  

Best of luck!
