How Much Does Day Care Cost?
It’s one of the most common questions parents ask: How much does day care cost? And the honest answer is, it depends. The cost of day care varies by area, your child’s age, and what’s included in the program. At Celebree School, we understand that choosing child care is a big decision, and it’s not just about the price. It’s about the value. You want a place where your child is loved, nurtured, safe, and learning every day. That’s exactly what we strive to provide.
We’re here to walk you through what’s included in our day care tuition so you can feel confident in making the best choice for your family.
What Influences the Cost of Day Care?
Several factors affect how much you’ll pay for day care, whether it’s for infant care, preschool, or anything in between:
- Location: Child care costs tend to reflect the local cost of living.
- Age of the Child: Infant care typically costs more due to lower teacher-to-child ratios.
- What’s Included: Some day cares charge extra for things like meals, diapers, or curriculum materials. At Celebree, we offer an all-inclusive tuition model with no surprise fees.
But here’s something important to remember: not all day care programs offer the same level of care or commitment. At Celebree, we’ve created a nurturing, personalized environment that’s more than just care. It’s a second home.
