Daycare Fee's

[5 Little Monkeys]

FSD...That's a good idea to keep up with the current rate. Most people complain about $30 around here so I won't be raising my fee anytime soon but like to know what other provinces charge. The going rate around here is $25-30 with the odd $20 and $35.

Playfelt...Thanks for that tip, I will have to check it out. I know a couple dcp's around here and have a few friends who are also dcp's so we usually email each other with questions/concerns/vents.

Not having coworkers can make for long days and sometimes you just want to vent or discuss an issue so I think this site is great!!

I'm in Ontario (north east of Toronto) and have just started charging $45/day. I moved here a year ago and started out at $39 and have gradually been moving up. Most of my clients are at $40 (same as rest of area) and 1 is at $42. Everyone in this area has been at $40 for years apparently, so I figured it might be a good time to try to up the anty a little. People are still contacting me for interviews (rather they WERE when I was FULL) at the $45 rate and didn't seem fazed by it. So, I'll just leave it there and see what happens. Another provider has just moved into the area and is charging $45 and $47....happy to see the prices go up
