[quote=Anonymous]I think you'll be a bit surprised by how much day care/preschool will cost you in the DC Metro area. At 4-year-old, you'll be paying for a program. The cheapest options within 15 miles of DC are $1,000/month (and there aren't many of those), and you could have programs costing upwards of $1,700/month. You're not going to get a public option until your child starts kindergarten. At that point, the before-care/after-care combo runs about $5,000 - $7,000/year at public schools, plus summer camp for 2.5 months in the summer (starting at $200/week, with most camps closer to $350/week). I would expect that you'll find that your child care expenses will be almost as large as your rental expenses, so I recommend including them in your budget when deciding how much you can really afford to pay for rent.[/quote]
