To parents who have children in daycare?

Question

How much do you pay for day care for a child, my daughter is 1, and may need to go into day care, what can i expect to pay

I live in Minnesota

Answer 1

Check your budget over good, your gas, food etc. You may find it cheaper to stay at home with your kids if you have a working husband. Your kids will love it!

Answer 2

I live in Minnesota, SW Metro area. I bring my daughter to a in-home daycare. We pay $145 a week. This is a good rate for our area. Most in-home daycare providers were asking for $180 - $210 for my 1 yr old a week.The daycare centers are around $350- $370 a week for an infant.

TAKE YOUR TIME finding the right person for you. I made the mistake of not looking enough, set up 5-10 interviews if you can get in with them. Finding an in-home daycare provider may be difficult with a 1 yr old. Most in-home daycare providers have space for 2+

We switched our daughter when she was 15 months old and I could only find one and had to go with it. However, when she turns 2 I will be searching for a better, smaller group, and a more attentive provider.

Good luck in your search!

Answer 3

It all depends on where you live. I too live in Minnesota (Elk River) and we have two kids (2 & 1) and we pay $240/week for both of them full time. This is a home daycare and I know that you can expect to pay more if you go to a New Horizion Center or, something similar. Make sure that you do some research and interviewing before you decide on which daycare that you are going to send your child to. I can't stress that enough. Good luck with your search!

Answer 4

Expect to pay anywhere from $75 to $85 or more. Child care is very expensive these days. Usually, home-based day cares are not quite as expensive. You may end up paying anywhere from $60-$70. Good luck. Most importantly, make sure you go onto the Internet and check out the child care providers.
