Day Care Costs

A recent report by Child Care Aware of America confirmed what many parents already know -– child care is expensive. So much so that families in the majority of states across America spent more to leave their babies in daycare last year than it would have cost them to send a child to college.

Will you be returning to work after baby arrives? If so, will you be paying for child care? Has the high cost of child care weighed into your decision to return or not?

I do daycare out of my home. We live on a military base, so I only have 6 slots. My own kids under 8 count in this number so I watch 4 right now. I will lose a spot when my baby is born until next August when my son turns 8. It is a nice way for me to stay home and make a little money. My kids have been in daycare before but on military installations, so I am not sure what a normal price is.
