Average Child Daycare Costs

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Veronica Baragas, with mywigglesandgiggles.com, and I'd like to share with you the average cost of child daycare, so depending on the area that you live in, in your city, it's really going to range from the size to what type of programs they offer, hours of operation, do they provide food or not, but you can find daycare as little a month as four fifty, to as much as a thousand dollars, so I'd say average is probably five, six hundred dollars, somewhere around there. That's pretty much speaking for a pretty quality daycare. Like just because they charge six hundred dollars or seven hundred dollars, doesn't mean that they are quality, but for a pretty good, decent daycare, you're going to look to spend five, six hundred dollars. Seven hundred dollars is starting to get a little bit more expensive. A lot of places offer sibling discounts, so that can range anywhere from a ten to fifteen percent, or maybe they do it like three hundred dollars off, so you're looking anywhere from four to five hundred to a thousand dollars, depending on like I said, hours of operation, what they offer, what kind of programs. Is there a learning center? Is it just a daycare center, or whatnot? Is it a preschool? So there's lots of things to take into consideration, but child care is definitely not inexpensive, but it's well worth the money."
