Even if the parents supply everything think about it, none of the other kids need it, only the infants do. Other kiddos don't need, diapers, wipes, formula, breast-milk, baby-food etc. so the parents should provide these. Infants take more time, you have to prepare the bottles, hand-feed, change diapers etc. It's just more hands on work than any other age range so the norm is to charge more for infants.
I don't think infants are more work but the State only allows a certan number of them and the centers can't make money off of them so the slots are more valuable. (more babies on the market than any other age group)
