[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$300-$400 is pre covid and dirt cheap at that. 500-$600 a week and they are way better than centers if you find the right one as far as learning goes, Our has Masters in Education and twice a week music lessons included. Food way better that in the center. Yes, 2 weeks vacation is an interruption but I much prefer it to center high turnover. I would go for most expensive home daycare option with a trusted provider, op.[/quote] I agree. Not that the more you pay the better care your child/children gets but for example if the provider has a degree in child education, that should count, what they offer beyond food, diapers, wipes etc should also be taken into account (e.g music lessons, language lessons (e.g French, Spanish, Chinese, arabic). Sometimes as parents I think we do not take into account the fact that these providers are humans who also have bills to pay/and live. I suggest asking how many children they're taking care of at once. I'd rather pay $600 a week for my child to go to the right daycare/home daycare with max kids than to pay $300-$400 for 1:10 provider/children ratio. Even though it's at "home" they still need to pay rent/mortgage, utilities, and live. Happy provider means=happy child=happy parent.[/quote]
