In my limited experience, daycare tuition in high cost of living areas is insane. Not sure why. You basically have to find some mom by word of mouth, running a daycare out of her house, to pay anything reasonable.
- nonethewiser 3y ago> In my limited experience, daycare tuition in high cost of living areas is insane. Not sure why. You know why. Because labor costs are "insane". Not insane from the perspective of the low-wage earner making 60k in NYC, but insane for the 4 families that are paying their salary. That's $15k per family per year. But that's not the final cost, they then have to cover a share of center overheard + some margin which easily hits 25 or 30k.
- johnnyanmac 3y agothat's not a very satisfying answer. The ones doing labor aren't benefitting, and a day care cares for more than 4 kids. so where's all the money going? Rent? So tiring hearing all these arguments in politics thinking of the kids, and meanwhile the kids' facilities are screwed over the worst. and for a high CoL area, it's not even 1200 a month. It's more like 2500-3000. Literally a 2nd apartment's worth of rent. Unless things went down over the pandemic.
