[quote=Anonymous]Daycares average $1200 per month per kid and up. Some will give discounts for each additional child. IMHO if you are 3 days a week, hire a nanny. Assuming you pay her $15 per hour, that's about $450 a week for all three kids ($1800 month) which is a lot cheaper than the $3K per month for a center. You could also do a thing where you put your eldest child in a pre-school with after care and then do a nanny share with the other two. That might even be cheaper. We have a 3 day a week nanny share for our two and we spend about $350 per week. Plus the nanny comes to us, drives the kids around for play dates, and will take them at times when the daycare would not (fever, bad colds, etc). Having someone come to you is a lot easier than having to pack three of them up for daycare. That said, we've been lucky and had the same wonderful nanny for 4 years but others haven't had the same positive experiences we have with finding a nanny.[/quote]
