Question by coshiru_mex: How much should I pay for child care in Lewisville, Texas?
I’ve heard of people paying anywhere between 0 a month and 0 a month and I have no clue what the average is. I’m only looking for child care two half days a week for my 18 month old. And I’d really like a child care center instead of a home based child care. Thanks for your answers.

Question by *Due 12/16/09 With Baby #2*: How much should I charge for child care?
I’m 10 weeks pregnant (with my second child) and I’m in need of some extra income. I was thinking of running an ad for child care in my home. I was planning on watching only up to age 5. I’m planning on providing meals and snacks and teaching them colors, numbers, shapes, letters depending on what they already know… How much should I charge? And I will watch them any hours so if they need me to watch them over night should I charge extra? Thanks for your help!

Best answer:

Answer by James Tiberius Kirk
Start cheap, you should charge like a few dollars extra over night at the start. Increase later on.

Tips for Choosing a Child Care Center

Typically in a double-income home, the parents must both choose to return to work at some point. Studies from the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies show that 62 percent of American mothers with children under 5 years of age are currently in the workforce. Increasingly, therefore, child care centers are becoming an essential part of a child’s development, and intrinsic for many families in raising a child.

The following are some tips to enable you to narrow down your exploration of child care. If it is such a priority, it is also a choice that needs to be made carefully.

Where to Look

Begin by trying to collect references from other parents in your neighborhood. This works both to find some good child care in your area, and to eliminate bad child care. Another place to look is the Child Care Resource and Referral Center, which is an organization that helps parents to choose what is best for their child care needs, and includes a listing of some of the best child care centers in your area.

Research.

Gather pertinent information on the centers before visiting them. This includes exploring whether or not the centers are adequately licensed by the state, and what information the state has on the center. Most states have clear laws concerning the requirements of the child care worker, as well as factors such as cleanliness in the center, quality of food provided, and proper safety procedures. The state should also be able to provide for you any violations the centers have had. Again, the local CCRR can provide you this information.

Visit.

Take time to visit and to ask questions – as many you need to feel comfortable making a good decision. For example: what is the ratio of employees to children? What is a typical group size? What are the qualifications of the employees? Is this center accredited? What is the employee turnover rate? What are the safety procedures?

Read the contract.

Discuss anything that concerns you or seems to be missing.

Observe the Children.

This is an excellent indicator of the quality of the child care. Do the children show respect to the caregiver? Are they generally happy? What is a typical schedule for the children?

Call references.

Previous clients can give an excellent perspective.

Stay involved.

Once you decide on a caregiver, remain involved in the process of caring for your child. Request updates on your child as often as possible. Also, consider volunteering for special outings if possible.

Here are a few terms that are helpful to know before you start your search:

Accreditation: a recognition of a care center for voluntarily abiding by certain standards.

Age groupings: infants are birth to 12 months, toddlers are 13 to 36 months, preschoolers are three to five years, school aged are first grade to 15 years, mixed ages are care groups with children that are least one year apart in age.

Babysitting: in-home care give on a temporary or occasional basis, primarily for safety over learning.

Caregiver: an employee who takes care of children.

CCR&R: an organization that provides resources to parents about child care, and helps with financial assistance, provides referrals, and information on licensing requirements

Child Development Associate: an employee who has finished a CDA course and has been given a CDA credential.

Corporate Child Care: child care financed partially or wholly by a parent’s employer.

Family child care: care provided in a provider’s own residence.

In-home child care: care provided in the home of the child’s parents.

Informal child care: care provided by friends are relatives that is not regulated as a child care provider.

Licensing requirements: state or local standards which providers are required to meet to continue in business.

Non-traditional child care: care provided during non-traditional working hours such as weekends, early hours, or late hours.
