What are some typical child care rates? What would be considered a FT or PT position?

Question

If my location helps...I live in Oregon state.

Answer 1

PT less than 4 consecutive hours
FT 4+ hours

Rates--under age 2--$15 per full day
Over age 2--$13 per full day
$4 extra per day per child for non-traditional hours.
Non-traditional hours are before 6am and after 9pm.

Answer 2

I don't know what the rates are there but here in Nebraska.
The baby room 6wks-18mo would range from $200-$160 a week. The toddler room 18mo-3yrs would range from $189-$140. The preschool room 3-4yrs would range from $169-$120. This is just an estimate based on what I know from around here. Those are full time rates. Full time would be any more than 6 hrs a day for 4 or 5 days a week. Part time would be less than 6 hrs a day or only 2-3 days a week. Most day cares around here don't take kids for 1 day only. These prices are actual day cares not at home babysitters.

Answer 3

I am in PA so this may or may not help but everywhere around here the day cares charge the 20 hour a week minimum so even weeks where my daughter was only there say 12 hours i had to fork over hte full 20 hours worth of services (120 dollars) but that was also 5 years ago and rates have probably gone up even more .. its an expensive but necessary thing more often than not i wish i hadnt had to send her there but i tried to keep it at the minimum 20 hours or less each week

Answer 4

both places i have lived, cali and texas the rate was either 3 dollars an hour (pt) or 20 a day (ft ). also fulltime you are usually paying for the slot, meaning even if your child doesnt attend a day you still have to pay. however that is up to the care giver.

Answer 5

Part time to me is under 30 hours a week.
