What does daycare charge for two infants? Do they discount if they’re twins?

Honest question.

No discount

Do you work for APS? You can look into The Children's School

Number of hours per day doesn’t matter in Virginia as long as they stay under 40 hours per week.

Op, join MONA. That’s a better place to ask. DCUM doesn’t know.

Are you sure about hours per day? I honestly am not sure but I think this recently changed.

Definitely join MONA. You will maybe get away with $23/hour, but not if you won’t pay overtime.

For both with diapers.

Sorry meant to respond to the $5000 a month post

I’d budget $5000 a month for everything.

Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I was hoping you could help out with childcare cost estimates. I’m a FTM pregnant with twins and due at the end of July (but will most likely be here end of June/early July if we make it that long). I’m a teacher and my husband is an attorney in DC—I’ll be taking FMLA and won’t return to work until around November.

If you have twins, or know someone who does, can you throw me a ballpark number for what you pay for daycare or nanny/nanny share? We’re in N. Arlington and as first time parents have no idea what to expect cost wise except “a lot”! Thanks in advance for your help!
