Affordable Daycare FAQs
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends spending no more than 10% of household income on child care. However, many families spend 35% or more, depending on location.
Costs vary depending on the area in which you live. In some cases, hiring a sitter might be less expensive; in other cases, affordable daycare wins out. Keep the different experiences in mind, though — at daycare, your child will benefit from social interaction with other children their age. And if you have more than one child, you might save money with sibling discounts.
By utilizing financial aid programs, tax credits, and employer benefits, you can find affordable daycare that meets both your budget and your child's needs. Start your search today!
