I pay $35 dollars a day, but my daycare is different from others that the daycare provider takes my son early, at 530am! My husband and I both have to be at work that early, and it was hard to find anyone to help out. My next delema is I want my 2 1/2 year old to go to prescool, and i have one picked out, it is $30 a day. But I am not sure how I can do that when the earliest they take children is 630, hopefully all will work out!

I am paying $220.00 per week for day care which is open 7AM to 5PM, open everyday except Holidays, meals included but I have to provide diapers/wipes/formula.
Hopefully, in 09/2011, my son will start pre-school and the one I want him to go cost $11,000 per year !!! 8AM to 3PM only, no meal included and they do close during fall, winter and spring breaks for 2 weeks!! It is crazy !!! But, I am really hoping we can afford it!

The preschool my son will go to next month when he turns 2 yrs old is 57.00 a day ( he is going to go 2x's week) this is all-day and it includes snacks and meals. I have to provide diapers/wipes and things like that.

I pay $130/week for my DS's home daycare and I provide diapers, wipes and food (food only because unfortunately he doesn't want to give up baby food). Otherwise when they turn 1 they go onto her meal plan and are fed breakfast, lunch and snacks.

I pay $600 per month, paid in advance 3 months at a time, for a potty-trained 2 year old. It's more if you pay by the month or the week at my child care. Food is provided, arts/crafts, lots of great toys, swimming in the summer, field trips, educational activities. I don't pay her for the 4 weeks of vacation she takes each year.

My son is 2 and we pay $581 every 2 weeks (so full time...10 days...~$58/day). It used to be $65/day went he was an infant. But I'm in the Chicago area...things are expensive here. Open 6:30 - 6. Good place, very clean, associated with a hospital. Good luck!

Thanks for all the replies ladies!

I pay $20.00 a day from 7:30 to 5:15 and I have to provide diapers & formula. Everything is included.

I pay $40/day for 2-3 days a week. MN is known as being expensive though.

oh, and the cheapest center I could find was $70/day for part-time. It's insane!
