Ballpark price for childcare?

Hi there,

Moving to SD in December and we're trying to work on the change in our budget.  I was looking for a ballpark or general idea of what childcare might cost a month.

We're moving to Escondido (so north county) and DD is 4.  She was in La Petite and we really like that.  We would look for a private place similar to La Petite (if not a LP) or a small pre-school at a nice church.

Thanks for the help with the general idea.

Re: Ballpark price for childcare?

  • I don't know much about La Petite, but I would guesstimate between $200 and $250 per week for full time care at a private day care facility.
  • We pay $185 a week for a home daycare (licensed).
    KinderCare or Discovery Isle cost between $1400-$1600 a month.
     
  • Ballpark would be $1,000/month.


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

    Start looking NOW for childcare options.  It is fairly limited in Escondido for "chain style" child care but there are a few churches in the area that offer day care if you dont mind them being exposed to religion.  Also look in San Marcos and Vista for options.

    I know that one of my co-workers was paying about $200 a week (this was 3 years ago) for a day care place in Vista (Vista/San Marcos border).  Nothing fancy (basic playground, licensed, etc) and it was at a church.

    What part of Escondido are you moving to?  I would be glad to help you out with any information that you might need.
