What do you pay for full time day care in Charlotte? Just trying to get an idea of what to expect.

Thanks!

    You might have better luck posting this on the NC bump board.  There is a link at the top of the page.

    It depends on what part of Charlotte, but I'd say it ranges from $800 to $1200 a month.

    I would agree!  I never knew child care was so expensive until I worked at a day care in college.  (Well I did the school age side of things) I don't know if they have any in the Charlotte area but when I went to NC State, I worked at Bright Horizons Family Solutions.  They really had high standards and most employees there had their associate degrees in early childhood, if not their bachelors.

    It sucks that daycare is so expensive because the employees at most places make next to nothing.  With a bachelors degree I made only $10/hour as a lead teacher in a three year old room.

    High end is about $285/week for an infant. Cost goes down slightly as the child gets older. But, for good care, expect to pay at least $1000/month. 

    Have you considered a nanny?

    I work as a nanny in pa, and I love it. When I have my own children that is the route I would like to take. More personalized attention. However going through a agency is very costly. I work through one now. But if you have a tough interviewing process you can find a nanny on your own. Good luck!

    The daycare I worked at was $200-$250 a week. I would not recommend this particular daycare, though. If you'd like to know which one just PM me. I don't want to say it on here.
