average price for childcare a day?
Shocking but true: in the U.S, the cost of child care at a day care center, full-time, is about as much as annual tuition and fees at a public college in the same state. The day care costs range from a state average of $5,547 for an infant in Alabama to $16,549 for one in Massachusetts. A full-time nanny can cost as much as or more than tuition and fees at an Ivy League institution.
