[quote=Scarlett]Maybe 10 yearsa ago it was $675…Eugene is correct. I had my daughter in UCSD day care a couple years ago. It’s over 1000$ for infants full time. Not many day care centers close to UCSD, and it IS a very good day care center – much better than let’s say KinderCare or LaPetite Academy – lunch & snacks are included (for preschoolers)! – that’s why 1 year long waitlist. Maybe now with the economy, the list may be shorter.[/quote]
WOW! I must be old. The most I ever paid was $100 per week for an infant, $75 week for KG (incl school pickups) and $50 – $70 week for afterschool care (incl school pickups). Included help with homework but I had to provide all lunches/snacks.
In schools where DASH (or the 6 to 6 program) was available (my kids didn’t go to one), after-school care was only $37 to $52 wk, depending on income. Not sure what it is now.
I guess a college faculty person can afford those rates. I sure couldn’t.
