Think about it this way - $27 a day x 4 places = $108 a day if full.

Depending on what you provide and what parent provide, you still have expenses to come out.

Even if parent bringing all food and drinks, you will have higher heating from all day heat compared to being able to lower temp when you working outside home. Flushing toilet in the day mean higher water. Toy and crafts.

If you are working 10 hour a day, $108 divided by 10 hour is $10.80 an hour if full. What is min wage in your province? Although you be saving own day care cost by being home, can you manage on $10.80 an hour if your ex loses job and so no child support?

I always thought that Ontario was more expensive then PEI living. Our mortgage is $327 bi-weekly and we have about 8 years left on it. Our cable/TV/internet bundle is $169 a month. Our water is $215 every 3 months so about $72. Our power bill which includes heat is $260.00 a month. Our house insurance with day care insurance is $88.00. Our property taxes are $2,700 a year so about $225 a month.
