Cost of Daycare... for 2
just curious to see if I am overpaying or not....
I pay $115 a day for a 3 year-old and 15 month old at a Montessori school. Their day is from approximately 7:30 - 4:00 PM. I am never charged if I am late with pickup (which is rare). The director also credits me any day(s) the kids are out sick or what-have-you to the following month's tuition. I am also a teacher and I do not have to pay for any days that I am off. So essentially, depending on how many days off I have that month, it averages about $2K a month.
I feel like it's expensive and it's my sister-in-law's mom, so I know she is helping us out where she can money wise.
Is this the average? I feel like I work to pay the mortgage and daycare with nothing else left.

Re: Cost of Daycare... for 2
I think that is the norm especially since you are not paying for days and weeks that you are off... i know most daycare places charge even if you don't take them there. i know it stinks that daycare is so expensive.... Maybe it would be worth it for you to look into hiring a nanny? My sister hired a nanny (she's also a teacher) after putting her kids in daycare got too expensive (she has 3 though).
