Average Childcare Rates Nationwide
|
We've gathered some sample childcare rates from across the country. Keep in mind that the rates may be different in your area. The size of your city and whether you choose a center or in-home care can affect the rates. So can
how full centers usually remain, the training/experience of the childcare provider, and what is included in the rate. What you pay for childcare is not as important as whether you are comfortable
with the care your child is receiving and whether your child is in a safe and nurturing environment.
Do you know of a childcare rate study that we should include here?
