[quote=sdrealtor]My son went to a licensed home day care. Actually 2 different ones in 2000. One in Mira Mesa and one in North Carlsbad. That was about 10 years ago and both were about $1000/month. I would challenge you to find me a good quality home day care in a decent area for $600 to 700/month. Please provide me a few as I always have clients looking for referrals to them but no one has ever found anything even close to that. I’m just saying…..[/quote]
sdr,
Are you sure you looked long enough? You just have to do 3 months of searching, interviewing and willing to abide by Tiger mom rules – no soup for you. If some of your clients spend 6 months+ year searching for a home, why can’t they spend a little time for daycare search? [satire; for you young folks that means private daycare availability market is very illiquid]
Even ads in Craigslist list 1000+ per kid with day care person taking care of 4 kids in areas between 52/78. Most of the lower priced group care is subsidized by nonprofits such as church.
Or you could get lucky perfect care at $700 like buying that perfect must sell today home at big discount bought Nov 4, 2010 at 4% rate.
