Cost of child care?

Hi All,

I am searching online for pricing of some child care places, but many do not want to give out their pricing. Does anyone know of some places in Jersey and how much they cost?

Re: Cost of child care?

  • It's all going to depend on the area you are looking and then whether or not you choose in home care, day care, or a learning center.  A learning center can run you about 250 a week for an infant. 
  • Ditto Lily. My suggestion is to pick 4 or 5, take a day off, and look at all of them. You really get what you pay for. We use a small facility that doesn't accept infants (Walkers to 6 y.o) and pay $28/day.

    I've never had to look for infant daycare because my MIL watched both girls for the first year, but I know it is more pricey.

    If you want your daycare to have computers and spanish and art class (like Goddard or Chesterbrook) you're going to pay about $50/day.

    Do you have any neighbors who do in-home care? I know my mom has a few stay at home moms in her development that watch other peoples kids.

    I would ask around to people you know and trust. It's a really big decision.

    GL! 

  • Goddard actually told me $210 for 2-3 days per week.  I think their weekly infant rate was $265/week but the child gets their own crib.  You do get what you pay for.  I will be switching out my child soon to a higher cost daycare.
