Found a list of daycare prices! $300 a week

Because some careers don’t allow you to waltz in and out as you please. Because some people truly enjoy working. Because you’re building seniority and keeping up with retirement contributions……
Are you really so limited in your thinking? Daycare will last for 5 years per child, not forever.

Because we make a lot more money than you do Linda.

I thought it was Amy.

Then you aren’t very smart. Some people make more than childcare. Even if not, you can get health care, retirement and other benefits, plus you’re building experience to make more later. Some people love their careers, or just want to be employed.

We are in Ashburn and paying nearly $100 more per week now than the prices reflected in that list.

Definitely an outdated list. I don't even see my current center on there. Also, most of the Ashburn daycares have shorter hours post pandemic than what is listed on that sheet - most seem to now close at 6 rather than 6:30.

I make way more than my kids childcare costs and I don't see you offering to pay my bills
