[quote=Anonymous]Hi op I agree it’s a hard decision, but I would encourage you to take the approach of combining your potential salary and your partners and then looking at it from that wholistic perspective determine if you can afford child care as a family on that combined salary and if that makes sense. Your partner is just as responsible for child care costs so combining and looking at it as a whole is often really helpful in considering this instead of expecting one persons salary to cover it. This approach also makes sense since going back to work is often for a multitude of reasons - retirement, future earning potential, your own feelings, etc so it helps take that pressure off that it’s all on you.

As for daycare costs our in home in falls church is about $1200 a month - that was for infant and stayed the same until now at 2. I would say that is on the more affordable end we found. Close in suburbs in homes can be more like $1500 or 1600 - farther our suburbs it can be much more affordable. We are looking at full day daycare/preschools for 2.5 and up and they range between $1300-$1600.

Hope this helps. [/quote]
