Being in a military community, our daycare is regulated and we have little choice of daycare. The price does however change depending on our location. This is based on income though, and I was a teacher and my husband ranking E5 in the army. I have one in school, but part-time care is high too. I am a Dc provider and you must remember what you pay for.
Quality comes before quanity.
If you want cheap day care you pay the price. All states and towns have different pricing because of the wealth of each town. I am not being negative I am telling you the truth. Please don't blast me. I have been on both sides of the fence.
