Mike, if you put in your postal code and search here on Daycare Bear for your area, that will give you a good idea of what others in your area are charging and whether they have different rates based on age. Where I am, I haven't seen anyone do that (except for centres) BUT this could change if the new bill goes through in parliament and we are only allowed 2 kids under the age of 2. Then I believe the majority of home daycares will put their rates up for the under 2 spaces as we will have a harder time filling our daycares and there will be competition among parents for those spots.
