How much do daycares charge on average for infants?

Question

I was wondering if anyone could help me out by telling me what they pay or charge someone for weekly infant care, thank you!

Answer 1

When I went back to work my son was 6 weeks old. I called tons of places. The range was from 120 to 240 per week. But most places charged about 170 a week.

Answer 2

Since more than 10 hours a week of separation from mommy causes emotional, social, intellectual, and even physical harm to an infant - lifelong harm to the ability to trust, for example - the cost of 150 - 200/wk that the day care charges is only the beginning of the very high price paid by every member of a family (but especially the infant) that uses substitute mothers for the care of their infants and toddlers.

Answer 3

I am going to pay $265 per week for a daycare. I am ready to pay that much because the lady is very good.

Depends on where you live. In my area, infants are around $200 a week.
