That's ridiculous. My daycare is in Greenbrier off of Hermanville Road. She only has one infant now. I will ask her if she wants another and get a price for you. She's great.

Wow! I can't belive how much centers are charging. When my daughter was born, my wife stayed home for almost 6 months. We put my daughter in a daycare center after that and it was only $150 a week. It is a really good center too. And I thought that was pricey. At $330 a week, you would probably be better off not working and staying home yourself.

When I worked Shift Work PG County Police, I paid $35 a week for Day Care, whether he was there or not. I thought THAT was bad, but reading this, I am amazed at prices for Child Care. I agree, if you can stay at home do it!! With the price of Gas & Day Care, it seems the paycheck would only cover grocery's. Good luck to all of you..

I don't know about you, but I like to eat. Having a job that only paid for groceries sounds like a great idea if you have no food in your fridge. :shrug:

Sorry if I upset you with my Post. You are 100% right. I should have used another analogy.

You didn't upset me, so nothing to apologize for.
It's just that not everything is so clear-cut for every situation.
Ideally, most parents would love to stay home with their child/children. I know I would. But in today's world, in today's economy, it is often a necessity that both parents work, even if their take-home pay isn't that great. That little bit of salary can buy food, housing, medical insurance, etc. that you can't get from staying at home earning "nothing".

My son goes to Riversong Christian Learning Center and he loves it. I am not sure if they have any infant openings but it is worth a shot. Their phone number is 301-862-9203.

C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS!
Here is another great website to use to find daycare:
List of early care and education programs.
I pay $170 a week for my 1yr old. He is at an in-home daycare. I definitely prefer in-home over a center because like other posters have said, there is more one-on-one interaction. And actually at my daycare, there are only 3 kids total, including mine.
Good luck to you!

maybe, maybe not .... depends on the size of the house you want, how bad you want that new(er) car ........ if you are willing to sacrifice someone can stay home with the children .....

Getting the license can be a pain in the butt. Then you have to deal with upset parents when you have to close due to an illness (as in your child has the same illness that would ban a client child from coming) or scheduling vacations or doctor visits or ...
Sometimes being a home childcare provider just isn't worth the $$.

Perhaps you missed the real point of my post.
What I was *trying* to say is that if working to put what little money you make in to buying groceries is one of your primary goals, worrying about having a larger house or a status-symbol car is probably the least of your worries.
Some people don't worry about fashion name clothes, expensive dinners out, and jet-setting vacations at the expense of putting their child/children in daycare.
Some people work to pay rent on a basic apartment, buy boxes of mac-n-cheese, and put gas in their beat up '85 Dodge to get to their low-wage job.
These are the people that, really, have no choice but to work.

I happen to want to work, and think that daycare will be good for my monster. I also think that it is perfectly okay to want nice things and I feel no need to be a martyr to my children. Further, I am comfortable that I can teach my child my morals and values despite her being out of my strict control every second of the day.
And the last thing a parent who is in distress about finding a good, safe, affordable place for her child to be wants to hear is that she should stop working and stay at home so her child won't become an amoral monster.
For pete's sake.
