Day Care Center ?

The cost varies from area to area. Most don't charge by your income, they have a flat rate. I would say that for a 6 months old they would charge around $300-350 every two weeks. That's about the rate for here for all day care. You would of course pay extra for extra hours and after-hours.

We live in Connecticut and my daughter (5 1/2 months) goes to day care one day/week as backup for when my mother-in-law goes on vacation. The day care center charges $50/day for six hours or more, up to 12 hours. Less than six hours is considered a half day and they charge half.

Late fees are very expensive as a deterrent to keep parents from taking advantage of having someone looking after their kid. The center we go to charges $10 for every 10 minutes you're late, starting at the first minute. Ex - if you pick your kid up at 6:01 they charge $10, 6:11 they charge $20, and you have to pay right then. It's necessary because the caregivers have lives too and too many people would let 6:00 stretch into 6:15, then 6:30.

I haven't heard of an all-night day care center. My cousin and her husband both work the midnight shift at a factory and her kids stay with her mom while they're working. It might be that you work out something like that with a family friend or find an overnight nanny that would stay at your house. A good place to check is if your local community college has an Early Childhood Education program - those students are usually eager to have something to put on their resume and have a keen interest in children.

It's difficult when your life situation requires you to be away from your baby. God bless you - and good luck!

It really depends on where you live and the policy of the daycare. Where I live(I worked at a daycare), we charged $1000 a month for children up to age 2(that was a 8:00am-6:00pm day), and an extra $60 a month for what we called "late night", which was an extended hour we were open for later working parents. No other daycare is open(in my area) past 6:00pm.

In my area paying $850-$1000 monthly for child care is not above average. I live in an area where the annual income is high and so is the cost of living, also rent and property are costly. Other areas would think that $1000 a month is extravagant, but here it is the norm.

In my area, when my daughter was 6 months old we paid $285.00 a week for care. Once she turned one it was $255.00 a week, now that she's almost three we pay $185/wk. Most are open from 7AM - 6PM, and have a heafty late pick up fee...normally $10-$15 for for first 15 minutes late and then $5 - $10 for every five minutes after. Also, a lot of day care centers have a 10 hour rule, meaning your child can't spend more than 10 hours at the center. You may have a hard time to find someone who can watch your child for that amount of time....Maybe you could have a family member help out, or you could hire a nanny or in home care provider that would be more linient to your hours.

Our local daycare is $34 a day for my toddler, I believe infants are a couple more dollars a day. They close at 6pm, and charge a lot for each minute after closing that a child is there. The amount is stated in their handbook. They do not charge overtime after 8 hours, they just charge the full day fee for anything over 5 hours. Anything less than 5 hours, it's an hourly fee. I do not know of any local all night day care facility.

Depends on where you live. But my daghters daycare, charged 130.00/week for her at 6 months, (I now pay 110.00 since she's 2 and potty trained) They would rather not keep the kids after 6pm but if we do not pick them up they charge 25.00/hr that you are late.

You may be able to find all day all night daycares. I had a babysitter like that. She had a daycare in her home and she watched me all day and if needed into the evening hours like past 9pm if my mom was doing overtime. You have to search and when you find places you have to take a tour first. Saftey and cleanliness is one of my key points to look for.

Ignore the responses regarding you ignoring your child....it's going to turn into another "SAHM vs workplace Mom" debate and it's unavoidable. Some people need to realize that it’s not always a choice we make and sometimes it’s just something that we need to do to provide a better life for our families. Or not even a better life, to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.

Back to your question, when I sent my 6 month old to daycare I paid $135 a week. It included breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks. However, at 6 months, he was still taking formula plus solids. So I provided all his formula, solids, and diapers. She provided the wipes.

My daycare charges $1 a minute you are late. And sometimes, if you’re honest with them and let them know ahead of time, they may be flexible and work with you. The KEY thing with putting your child in daycare is making DAMN sure you trust your instincts. Because when you leave your child in the mornings with this person, you want to know for sure your child is comfortable there and that the person caring for them is trustworthy.

Best of luck! It’s not easy leaving your child at daycare!!

properly sorry to break it to you yet no matter if its in an in abode daycare or daycare center youngsters nevertheless bite one yet another. that is not any longer the ladies fault. I actual have worked in both and spot how both arent very diverse from one yet another except the type of children. definite she could better than in all probability have had extra a million on a million contained in the in abode. yet you probably did what you had to do. i does no longer have approved of taking your baby in a van or any motor vehicle for that commemorate until eventually you've signed a kind pointing out that it grow to be ok. in case you probably did not attempt this then no she could no longer have taken them everywhere. she will free her lisence for that.

I have no idea, most day care centers are going to cost you quite a bit of money but I have a question. 6 am to 6 PM or later. And then you are wondering about all night day cares? When do you expect to actually see your kid, you should be parenting your children, not the daycare. If this is about you needing to work extra jobs to live, a good idea is to find families with other children that are in somewhat of the same situation you are in. My mother used to watch my brother and I on Monday's and not work, and then Tuesdays another mother had us during the day with her kids and she didn't work that day and so on. No one paid anybody anything because each mother participated, it's much easier than daycare but it does take time to set up a network of people.

Um - to the first retard - not everyone can afford not to work. If you are fortunate enough to be able to stay at home you are VERY lucky. Why not volunteer some of that energy to help someone rather than judge them?

Even stripping things down to the bare bones, we could not make it on one income alone. Combined total, working 40/hrs. week we make about $2000/mo.

We don't pay for childcare, because it is so expensive. We do childcare swaps with friends who have kids - that way there is one on one interaction w/ someone they know, and have relatives watch him sometimes.
