Our fairfax daycare center is $300/week for infant, but it does not do part time. $15,600 total for the year up to 16 months. I just don't get these centers that charge 19,000+ for infants. We looked at a ton and got references not worth 4K more. As long as my baby is cared for fed and has a clean diaper! The hard part is finding a center with out a wait list....

11:02 poster here. It is a little high, and I would of course prefer to pay less, but there are 2 assistants and 12 kids total, and they run a little "preschool" program for the older kids [2ish+]. My little shy one is doing well there, and the intangibles are priceless.

I have my 15 month DD in an in-home daycare in Alexandria (Fairfax County portion) and we pay $300 per week - full-time 7:30AM to 6:15PM.

12:15 Is that a typo? $850/ week(for 3 days) thats over double the norm of in home and centers that have posted on this thread alone...

we looked at Merritt - the cost for an infant was WAY higher than any other center we checked - but the cost for toddlers and preschoolers was very close to the other area centers.
