How much do you all pay per month for infant child care?

Question

In my area it’s a minimum of $2,500 per month.... I have no clue how we are going to afford that!

Answer

In my area the average for infant care (under one year) is $1000/month, and for toddler care (1-5 years old) it’s $850/month. Majority of households here have the mother or the lower earning spouse take a full year of parental leave (unless they are self employed).

Answer

$580/month for full time care at a small, in-home facility
