In-Home Daycare Costs?

[Anonymous]

I'd like to get an idea of what people pay in the DC are for in-home daycare.

If you are willing to share - please let me know if it's an infant (under 2) or toddler (over 2) and what the weekly rate is where you send your child (or if you know of some prices in your area).

Thanks!

I paid $210 per week for three days in Falls Church for a daycare that both my kids (and their parents) loved.

1200/month. NW dc. pretty much what my friend nearby in Colt hts is paying.
no lunch provided, although provider does offer snacks, bottled water, etc.
Good ratio (2:7 in morning/pm, 3:7 during bulk of day).

No way to price on the love, affection, tenderness, and care they show my son. We love our daycare and our providers.

10:06 here-sorry, forgot to add the price is the same for infants and toddlers. occasionally extra optional charges for classes (music, etc) that the provider organizes.

$300/week, Silver Spring. Lunch/snacks provided. Our kid is under 2, but I'm pretty sure the rate is the same for over 2. Ratio is 2:8.

Is $250 per week for both kids? or $500 total a week for 2 kids?

[Anonymous]

It is 250. Per child, and seems to be pretty standard for in-home daycares around here. 12 kids, usually owner and two helpers.

$250 in Arlington. 8-6pm

Bethesda, <2, 385/week currently. 4 under-2s (1 PT), 2 PT over-2s, 2 providers (so ratio never more than 6:2).
When I was looking at other options, saw as high as 400/week and some comparably good options around 340/week.

Rockville - over 2 yrs is $200 /wk and includes food.

S. Arlington- $240/week for 3 days or $280/week for 5 days. We provide formula, but they provide all other food.

Does your provider have any openings for a 1-year-old?
