[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$600/month is exactly what I paid when my son was a baby/toddler (so that was 2005-2008).  He is 9 yrs old now.  This was a licensed in home daycare.  I rent a basement apartment is a nice area in Montgomery County.  Don't say it can't be done when people are doing it.[/quote]

I also paid $150 for my now 9 year old and paid $175 for my now 6 year old.  Yes, you can find a lower cost child care option.  My in licensed in home care provider was in DC.[/quote]

btw the cost now is $250 a week and in Takoma DC[/quote]

[b]You would be extremely lucky to find a decent in home provider with a good ratio at 250/week in dc. For an infant especially, the trust has to be there. The difficulty in finding affordable, high quality child care is no joke. [/quote][/b][i]

This.  
It's not JUST about the cost of the childcare.  You have to trust your providers.  We are very fortunate to have found a daycare center at 250/mo for an infant not in DC but on the border of MD/DC.  We trust them and have been there since our child was an infant.  Good places have long wait lists.  And our center has not raised rates but has over an 18 month wait list.  Good luck.[/quote]
