    Central Etobicoke Centre Rates

    Hi,

    I have a centre and I plan on becoming licensed and opening around Jan. I plan on having kids ages 21/2-5 and I am going have healthy nutritious food catered for them that meets all requirements. I am located in central Etobicoke. How much should I charge for the children? I was thinking $50. It will go from 7am-6pm. I checked areas around here some centres charge $44 and some homes range from $35-$63. This has left me very confused. Would you be willing to pay $1000 plus tax for your child per month if you were the parent? The facility is huge and we will have a lot of supplies for the children to play with.

    If your a centre not a home daycare you can probably get away with 60$/day. But if other centres are charging 44$ then I'd stay at 50$

    Etobicoke at $60 a day... really? Seems way to much for that area given that there is so much low income there.

    I don't know the area. Lol. I was just going on what she was saying some homes go up to 63$ and centres usually charge more. Atleast that's how it works here.

    Etobicoke is quite ritzy. There are areas that are lower income like all cities but there are definite areas of extreme wealth. That being said, my DD went to a centre in Etobicoke (Royal York and Eg) because it was cheaper than Toronto DCs. We paid I think $50 for infant care and $40 for toddler care.

    Wowzer!! I guess that's how it is in many cities. Block to block there can be extreme differences.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
