I know what you mean. I moved to a University town about 5 years ago and prior to that I lived in the Seattle area. When I moved here I thought I would make the same amount of money but I was so surprised. I am still in the same state but DSHS pays us $22. lower than the Seattle area. This town has so many government programs that many of the home daycare's have had to close down. The centers here charge a sliding scale and even if they make to much with the state for help they can get help from the centers. In some cases their portion is 0. I have been operating a in-home child care for 19 years and I have had to get a evening job to make it. We have 8 unlicensed homes here and our licensor says she is just to busy to go and check them out.
