Do you ever try to negotiate the rate for in-home or just take what you can get? I thought $500/week was very high especially since it doesn't include diapers or any food, which a lot of the centers include in their price. But I guess there is enough competition out there so they can charge what they want

I don't know of ANY centers that include wipes or diapers. I think both of these items are pretty much always provided by the parents.

Wow! That's very high.

Also, I have never heard of any day cares (center or in home) that provide diapers or wipes.

La Petite in DC includes diapers, wipes, and all food. 2yo is $450/wk
