| Research purposes only- what is the range of hourly pay for a daycare assistant? Does it vary at an in-home daycare vs. center? |

Min wage at centers.
In-home it depends on their relationship with the business and the owner. |

That’s illegal due to minimum wage laws. You’re incorrect. |

| Depends on what other benefits the center is providing, how much they pitch in towards medical insurance premiums, how much paid vacation they offer, etc. |

Good point about benefits, PP. We offer health insurance (employee contributes 10%), small life insurance policy, 5% no match necessary retirement contribution, 3 weeks annual leave, 2 1/2 weeks sick leave. It's still not nearly enough to compensate the hard work they do each day. |

There's a big difference between lead teacher to assistant. $10-$28 in our school. |
