Daycare rate for baby under 6 months?

[Sharonw]

Hi, I have a child starting in September who is 5 months old. Just curious what would be reasonable to charge for that age. I was thinking $40 per day, is that too much or too little? I live in the mississauga area.

it really depends on what your regular charge is for a 12m+ child..... I normally charge $32 so I would charge at least $40-$45 for an infant that age.

12 m+ for me is $40 daily, for now. $45 for under 12 mo.
So depending on what your regular daily rate is, increase it by a percentage, or whatever you feel comfortable.

I charge $35 per day for children 1 year - 4 years, so I think $40 per day would certainly not be unreasonable. Thanks for your input ladies.
