the Price of Daycare for One Child between 13 and 24 months

$120 covers one week of childcare service for a child between the ages of one year and two years old. The price does not include diapers. If the child is able to consume regular table food, they may eat what the older kids are having. If the child is still eating baby food, that must be provided by the parents.

My sister-in-law had used her mother for a babysitter, but when her mother's health began to decline, she had to look for another option. This child care facility was church run but was very general in its teachings. It was not a problem if you were of a different denomination, because it didn't go into specifics on their teachings. The children were, however, made to display decent manners and show respect.

The only thing my sister-in-law hated was she was charged even when her children weren't there. When she took a vacation she still had to pay to hold her son's "spot".

Always thoroughly research any potential child care providers, whether you choose to go with a larger commercial daycare or an in-home daycare. See what's included for your weekly price. Also check to see if discounts are offered if you have more than one child in the facility. See if the price will drop when the child is older and doesn't require as much "one on one time". Ask how discipline issues are handled. Find out what their policy is on sick children. See if you have to pay whenever your children aren't there to "hold" your spot.
