I think it depends on where you live and the class of families in your are.

I live in a middle class neighborhood, (houses are 120K-200k, rent is $550 for 1bdrm, $900 house) do circle time and keep kids active all day. We have wkly field trips at no cost to parents. I charge $140 for infants and $130 for others. It is hard to find people to pay that. Many in my area will charge $100-$125. I want the better class of clients so I charge more to keep the DSS clients and parents who change jobs often out of my daycare.

Now the next town over where homes are 80k - 100k charges $80 - $100 for daycare.
