If you take the time to observe, your see how most of those poor babies get treated. Even if it costs 2K a month. Your baby needs to be loved. Not just diaper-changed every two hours, and then left alone.

So let's recap. You have nothing to contribute to OP's question but you stand in judgement. Not okay.

Let's recap. When you ask for the price of a service, we need to know the level of service you want/can afford. Do you want to find your child at the end of the day happy, well-rested, and ready to go home for dinner and bed? Or passive/angry, over-stimulated, and disagreeable?

Quality of care is of vital importance, imo.

369 a week.

We pay $1200 a month for an in-home provider in Falls Church.

2k/ mo is standard at the big and well-regarded centers (Wonders, Shoe, Rock Spring)

I'm currently looking and have seen some places in North Bethesda/Bethesda charging 1900ish. I'd love to know where the 1475 place is!

In Bethesda about 1/2 mile outside the beltway (does this count?) we pay $1,475.00 per month at a center.

Where is this?

Our center works out to about $1600 a month in Alexandria.

What do you pay for full time infant day care (center or in home) inside the beltway? I just got quoted over $2k per month for a 3 month old in VA. Not sure if that is typical (or high). Thanks.
