[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One big point is that budget wise we need to be under $3500 for care and preschool per month. That makes it more tricky.[/quote] You have a few options. I'm not sure where you live, but in my area center-based infant care runs below $1200-1700/month and preschooler center care is around $1000-1600/month, depending on how fancy you want to go. You could also go the au pair + preschool route. Au pairs, both official and unofficial - like food, extra utilities, car insurance - cost about 2k/month. That leaves you plenty of room for extra activities and part time preschool for the older kid. Live in nanny who gets room & board would cost about the same as an au pair - but you pay all the money directly to the nanny instead of portioning off a big piece for the placement agency - so that's also an option.
