can you tell me the age of your child and the $ and what you pay for?

When we move I will be setting up either a center or a home daycare.... maybe preschool as well.

Please help me out with this.

Thank you!

Wow that is a good price. Here in North Carolina for one child is 175 a week and you have to pay for the full week even if the child was there or not.

OH my goodness! I think I am going to look into this kind of business as those numbers are well...very aggressive! I had no idea how much money people were paying to have their children looked after. I wonder if the liability insurance drives a big chunk of the cost? My former wife was always at home while the kids were growing up so I had no clue about this issue. Parents need some good quality affordable care for their little munchkins! I'm serious about looking into this. Man I feel for you folks.

I sent my kids to daycare while I went to college Way back when i paid $80 a week (My youngest is going to be 17)

At this time I have a home daycare in Illinois. I am licenses. I have standards set by the state and most importantly by myself. Its not always about play time but the learning environment your child is in. I provide balanced meals and good snacks. I have not advertised to open etc.......its been all word of mouth.
I worked in daycare centers for 14 years ..and have my home now open for 2 years.

Long hours and lots of hard work. I work 6am-6pm M-F and that dont include cleaning and set up and looking for fun ideas for the kids to do.
I pour my heart into what I do!
