What is the going rate for newborn daycare in the DFW, TX area? Thanks ladies!!!!
Thank you all so much for all the info! My daughter is expecting her first in late September. I know that I will help for awhile, but I don't know for how long. My daughter wants me to be the babsitter, but I am hesitant for several reasons. Time will tell! All of my friends are telling me that I should charge something after a certain period of time. We will see how that will turn out! I thought that I would gather as much info as I could. Thanks a bunch!
Hi Kathie,
I had my son at the Presby Hospital off of 75 for awhile and the rate was around $230 a week for infant care. The name was Dealey Childcare. Absolutley great care by the way, but the rate is about normal for a nice facility. We took him out in December just because we moved to Rockwall, but he was there for over a 1.5 yr.
Hi - we have a three month old and did a fair amount of research of commercial daycares last spring. For full time care, we generally found rates of $240 - $260 per week.
We charge $198 per week for full-time infant care at our non-profit childcare center. No part-time offered.
Kathie,
Licensed and registered in-home childcares usually charge less than centers. I am located in north Dallas, and I charge $720/month, the average is between $700-$1080. Also, many home daycares offer part-time infant care ($45 or $50 per day).
I specifically looked in Dallas - north of down town but south of 635. I found rates from $775/mo to >$1400/mo for full-time newborn care. I only found one place that would do part-time newborn care and they had LOTS of violations on their inspections. going rate seemed to be more in the $1000-1200/mo range.
