Hello ladies. My husband and I are expecting our first child at the end of the year and are discussing our child care options. I am wondering if anyone can tell me what they pay for infant daycare weekly. I would love to have my mother take care of the baby, however I need to decide a fair pay rate also. I know wait lists are long at most good facilities and would really like to make a decision soon. Thank you for all of your help!

What can I do next?

There are still people out there for "IN HOME" childcare and there are some good ones sometimes hard to find that will only charge $125 a week. in 2002 I paid $175/wk for mine. I know before I left corp in 2007, I was looking at commercial places like: Premier and others...the average then for an infant was $195-$220. And at that time I had one that was over 18mth and an infant they were asking for $315/wk. I think if it is your mom she will take whatever you give her and probably would not accept it.My average yearly cost for my first infant in FT childcare was $10k/yr minium.

They list a lot of area programs, along with pricing, depending on whether you're looking for PT, FT, age of child, etc.

I know last year when I called around as part of my job as an Assistant Director to shop other schools for pricing for age groups the average infant care was between $210-$260 a week till they turn 13 months and then it goes down about 15-20 a week.
