[quote=Anonymous][quote=beenar]To the previous poster - I'd still be happy to talk about your experiences with daycare in the area! I am very desperately looking for sources![/quote]

Really?  Have you actually done any research?

Daycare is a low profit industry.  The margins for profit in infant and toddler is particularly small. It takes at least 3 people a day to staff an infant room with a 4:1 ratio.

Next add in the required square footage for centers, the licensing requirements for exits, entrances, fire codes, etc plus the fact that a center has to be located in an accessible area with a good population who needs care and the of real estate that fits all that is very limited in any given area.  Add in the high rents of the closer you are to DC.

Then of course there is equipment to purchase and maintenance and upkeep of properties and those services are costly in this area also.

A large management company like Bright Horizons then has the added expense of overhead for their own buildings and corporate employees, marketing costs, etc.
