That is actually a great reply horsegirl. Thank you. It helps to get things in perspective. I always try and talk to my hubby or friends and bounce daycare things off of them but they never understand or can really put it in perspective the way another provider can.

I have the same hours as you. I think the avg rate here is $35. I have seen $40 and even $42 per day but then it seems some people are advertising online really cheap like I mentionned.

I am not looking for any more children right now. I will probably accept 1 full time child in the fall when one of my Pters leaves for JK. I like to keep the #s low. Better for the kids, my sanity and ability to program that way.
