In downtown Toronto daycare is very well paid. Fees could go up to $75 per day for home daycare. Home daycare ads in that area look like they are offering a lot and caregivers seem to have good credentials. You can take a look at their ads and see what they are offering as a starting point. Depending on the area and demographics, parents value different aspects and hence are willing to pay more if they find what they are looking for. Where I am located families really value healthy, organic eating, educational programming, great daycare set up, and low caregiver to child ratio and they are willing to pay more because I offer all this. You need to find out what is most valued by families in your neighborhood and what they are looking for that is hard for them to find somewhere else.
