Northern Virginia Providers
Is anyone located in northern Virginia? I am a provider, thinking of relocating and curious about rates? I have poked around online, looking at ads on Craigslist and such and it seems like about $250 per week is average for full day daycare? Is this accurate? This seems too good to be true to me. Lol. I live in Southern California now and it isn't even that much here. I am also curious about the ratio. It looks like 1:8 for preschool age? I only do preschool age. Between that and the rate, that could mean some amazing income. VA providers, is this accurate? Thanks!

Lol. :) Here the going rate is $150-$175 per week, which is good. Cost of living there is about the same as here, so if the rates are accurate, that could be a great income!

A DCF of mine mentioned they paid $1200 per month for 3 days a week. They were receiving care in Northern Virginia. I hope this helps answer your question.

There is a HUGE demand for care in this area, and not a lot of quality home providers. In my zip code there are 7 licensed providers, and a population of 27,841. I'm about 15 minutes from DC, but I know in places closer (Like Alexandria) the home daycare rates are over $300/week. HTH, and PM me if you want more info. ETA: That I didn't mean only licensed providers are "quality providers". Just that I can only see a listing of licensed providers, not a listing of unlicensed. There are probably about 5-10 unlicensed providers. |
My sister lives in Northern VA and she is in the process of opening a home childcare. She called around a bit, and said her local rates are around $250-$280 a week as well.
That's almost twice what I get here. :eek: |
Wow. That is good to hear too. I would be right outside of DC... not sure exactly what area, but it sounds like a good business to be in in that area. :)
