PP here who was going to do daycare and the preschool - no time to type a lot but ballpark I was thinking (and these are low rates, I get it, we are assuming we will pay more)

Calcs include OT, but not taxes (no time right now)

12/hr for one child nanny, 1 child FT preschool - $960 ($660 week for 1 child)

$15/hr for two children - both children home, PT preschool - $1025

Difference per week - $65

So the $155 difference makes sense per week if you include taxes.

I agree if OP is looking at budget, 2 kids in daycare is cheaper than 1  with a nanny, but my argument was that by giving #2 SOME sort of preschool (which we want), it's not worth it for us to pull her out of FT preschool. The other issue with PT preschool is that then you have to find a nanny who can drive (we don't have a PT preschool walking distance from us) and mileage, additional car insurance and general headache is also worth $$ to us.

we want a nanny for #2 because of the convenience it provides but also want to give #2 preschool experience.

if we go a share (ideal, and will look for it, but we want to host so looking at things if we don't find someone to share), we will try for $16/hr, meaning $500 a week (50hrs a week).

btw, this is a PP, not the OP. I was just sharing what we plan to do, at least for the first year.
