I just curoius as to what other providers charge what is included and where they are located. If you are lisenced or not.

When I lived in Maryland and I was unlisenced for 3 years I charged with no food included:
100 for infants and toddlers
80 for school aged before and after school care and summer care

When I lived in Maryland and had my daycare lisenced for 5 years I charged with breakfest, lunch, and afternoon snack included:
200 for infants
150 for toddlers
100 for school aged before and after school care and summer care

I now live in NC and am unlisenced ive been doing it for 2 years I charge with breakfest, lunch, and afternoon snack included:
140 for infants
120 for toddlers
50 for after school care and 100 for Summer care

That's it?!?!? That's dirt cheap! I'm from Canada and it costs much more here. In one province, the avg rates are (including breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks):

FT Infant - $700/mth
FT Toddler/Preschool - $600/mth

PT Infant - $550/mth
PT Toddler/Preschool - $300/mth

B&A School - $150 mth

On the west coast, I've heard of people charging $1000/mth for an infant ft!!!

Here in Hawaii $500 - $600 a month is typical for a full time 18 month+ child. You would think that the rates would be higher here since the cost of living is so high but they're no too bad. There are centers around here that will charge $1200+ for a child. Also we have a lot of military on Oahu so we have to make it affordable for those families. All of my daycare children are military children (gotta love military work hours).

I charge a daily rate of $25/day. It's been the same since I opened my doors about 6 years ago. I live in Michigan. I'm not sure what other Michiganders charge, but I do know that if you check Craig's List, there are people who are WAY cheaper than I am!

3 hours preschool $25 per day or $100 fo 5 days

Same rate for all ages.

$125-$135/wk here

BUT, if you look on Craigslist, you'd think $50-60/week including all meals and preschool program was the going rate.

Where I live the half day preschool rates vary enormously, anywhere from 125.00 a month to 300.00 a month. The lower rates are church based and perhaps subsidized by their main organization. I am trying to open a private, family based preschool. I have a teaching degree in Early Childhood Education and taught preschool for 6 years before desiring to open my own social service licensed preschool. I will meed from 9-noon 3 days a week and I will employ an assistant. I was thinking of charging 190./month and children will provide their own snacks in original warping to avoid any allergies so they will not be allowed to bring peanuts, tree nuts, chocolate (on child whose parents want to enroll him is is servery allergic) . etc.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
