Daycare Pricing

Hi M.

Congratulations!! You know you have a great support team
with your oldest son and daughter too.

If you are able to afford to quit your job after Christmas etc., to be a SAHM I myself would be a FULL TIME MOMMY to baby number three and enjoy every coo.

I work at home on my computer and if you have high speed internet and unlimited long distance I can show you
how to add an extra weekly paycheck with flexable schedules.

Oh you know how exciting for you and your family..
Congratulations again and God Bless!!

Warm hugs

I looked at various centers like Tutor Time, Kinder Care, and Bright Horizons in Tempe and Chandler. The rates are about $225-250 / week or about $1000 per month for infants. Infants generally are full M-F slots since they use cribs which are assigned to each baby. I know in home care can cost less, but unless you are have good referrals that can be hard to research.
My daughter has been in day care since Oct 07 when she was 3 months old.
Let me know if I can answer any other questions.

For my home daycare I charge $150 a week for infants. You can find some daycares that will charge you less, more like $125 a week (I charge one family only $115 per week for their infant) It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want someone to do more activities and provide food,etc. then they might charge more. I would definitely look into Child Care Resource and Referral or Craigslist to find your provider. Be careful with Craigslist, as a lot of the providers aren't qualified or certified. I would definitely make sure that your provider has a fingerprint clearance card and CPR and First Aid certification. You might want to find a provider that has a fingerprint clearance card for ALL adults that will be in the home.

A corporate/commercial daycare can charge over $200 per WEEK for childcare. It is all in your preference.

Congratulations on the new baby. I also do daycare in the South Chandler area and first would recommend that if you do end up using a daycare provider please go to www.azchildcare.org. All the providers on their list have been fingerprinted through DPS, CPR/First Aide Certified and been background checked by CPS at the very minimum. As for cost of daycare, I charge $160 for full time care which is 5 days a week and my hours are 6:30 - 5:30, this is also what my SIL charges but she is getting ready to raise her rates to $175 per week for full time. Good luck on decided what you are going to do, I know the decision is a hard one I worked with my first 2 and only had my 3rd because I was home anyway!

CongratS!!! on your New little one. I too have been in your situation. My oldest is 23 and my youngest is 2!! But let me explain, there is a 12 yr differnce between the first and second child, ( I have a total of 4) We thought we were done after the first one, and much to our surprise, 12 yrs later our wonderful son was born. Thought we were done again and 4 yrs later we were blessed with our beautiful daughter. Ok now we are done!!! NOPE!!!! (I blame it on the Super Bowl Party we attended!!!) and last our amazing 2yr old baby girl!! ok so Now we ARE DONE!!! anyways, I was fortunate enough to be able to quit corporate America and finally be a stay at home mom.. I do In-Home Day care I charge $30 a day and my hours of operation are 8:30am to 5pm. We would love to have your little one join our group.
If interested let me know.
Take Care and God Bless and again Congrats!!!
