Parents know that child care isn’t cheap, but they might not realize how much those costs differ across the United States—or how much of their income they can expect to spend.

On top of that, with added challenges and more time at home during the pandemic, how are parents handling their child care alongside work?

Using data from the Economic Policy Institute and the US Census Bureau, we dug into the average cost of child care and compared it to the average income in each state. We also surveyed parents, asking them about child care and how the pandemic has affected them.

If you’re thinking about moving across the country, you may find a better way to manage your work, income, and time by finding affordable child care. How does your state compare for child care?

How much does child care cost?

On average, infant child care costs $216 a week, which is 17.1% of the national median household income.

Infant care in the US costs anywhere from 10.9% of household income—like in South Dakota—all the way up to 26.3% of household income in Washington, DC. Even at the low end, that’s no small part of your income.

Keep in mind, infant care is generally more expensive than care for older kids. For example, national average daycare prices for 4year-olds are a bit cheaper at $175 per week or 13.9% of the median income.

Note: For the percentage of income ranking, we used infant care data. To provide a hard dollar amount for child care as a whole, we used the average price of both infant care and four-year-old care.

Methodology

To rank each state’s affordability of child care, we compared the average annual cost of infant care (from the Economic Policy Institute) to the median household income in the past 12 months (from the U.S Census Bureau). Infant care can be seen as a “max” expense since older children’s child care is the same price or less in every state. The data ranges from February 2020 through February 2021.

Our survey of 700 parents was conducted via Pollfish on March 16, 2021.

Editorial: Childcare costs more than rent for many California families. That has to change

Children play at Voyages Preschool in Los Angeles on Aug. 27, 2020.

(Christina House / Los Angeles Times)

By The Times Editorial Board

Recent research lays bare an enormous toll facing California families: Child care has become so costly that in most of the state it’s surpassed housing as the largest monthly expense for households with young children.

Child-care costs have jumped 45% in Los Angeles County and an astonishing 81% in San Francisco since 2014 for households with two adults and both a preschool-age child and a school-age child, according to Insight Center, a research and advocacy group focused on economic justice. Such families in Los Angeles now typically spend $2,058 a month putting a roof over their heads — and $2,450 a month on child care.

Many families simply can’t afford that. While the state provides sliding-scale subsidies that cover some or all of the child-care costs for households that make less than the median income, it’s only enough to help 14% of eligible infants and toddlers. Care is most expensive at this young age because frequent feeding and diapering require so much work; adults can look after only a few babies at a time.

Even families who earn enough to pay for child care often can’t find a program with room for their little one. California had a shortage of child care before the pandemic, and it’s only gotten worse. Disrupted by fluctuating enrollment and staffing shortages, about one-fourth of child-care programs have been temporarily or permanently closed since 2020.

This lack of affordable child care leaves too many parents, especially mothers, unable to earn a living. That causes problems not just for individual families but also across the economy. One study conducted before the pandemic estimated that the shortage of child care available to parents with kids up to age 3 costs California at least $6.8 billion each year in lost earnings, productivity and tax revenue.

The dire situation explains why the Children Now advocacy group gave California a D-plus for progress in child care in its new report grading the state on numerous areas of children’s well-being. By contrast, California scored an A-minus for preschool.

How could that be?

It boils down to the difference between what California is doing for 4-year-olds, and what it’s doing for younger children. Under a plan Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature agreed to last year, the state is funding a massive expansion of prekindergarten on public school campuses. It’s phasing in gradually, with the expectation that in the 2025-26 school year, pre-K will be available for free to all 4-year-olds.

The same budget agreement calls for increasing the number of child-care subsidies so that by the same year they will help an additional 200,000 youngsters. That may sound like a lot, but it’s actually about half the number on waiting lists, said Ted Lempert, a former state legislator who now heads Children Now.

“Our state leaders have been focused on preschool for a long time,” he said. “But when it comes to infants and toddlers, we have so much farther to go.”

The budget proposal Newsom unveiled last week calls for funding an additional 36,000 subsidized child-care slots — for a total of 145,000 additional slots since 2020 — and raising the rate the state pays providers. Advocates argue that even more is needed, not only to fund more subsidies, but also to expand child-care facilities and encourage people to work in the field by raising wages and providing more training.

The state is sitting on a massive $46-billion budget surplus, and even if lawmakers are cautious about committing to ongoing spending (and they should be), they could devote some one-time money to help child-care providers upgrade and expand their facilities so they can serve more children.

Ultimately, though, this is not a problem that should only be solved in Sacramento. Congress needs to step up too. The economics of caring for human beings was a driving philosophy behind President Biden’s Build Back Better Act, which passed the Democratic-controlled House but stalled in the Senate, where Republicans and conservative Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin refuse to let it advance, citing the cost. Among many other provisions, it would provide preschool for 3- and 4-year-old children, subsidize the cost of child care for most parents with children under 6, and extend the expanded child tax credit that was allowed to expire this month.

The boosted child tax credit gave families an annual $3,000 for children ages 6-17 and $3,500 for children under 6, and was available to families who earned little or no income. That’s money parents could spend on any household need, be it food, rent or child care.

The Senate must recognize the dilemma so many American families face when it comes to the cost of caring for children. Revive the Build Back Better Act, negotiate the details and extend the child tax credit. Parents shouldn’t have to go broke raising the next generation of taxpayers.


Why America’s child care costs keep soaring : NPR

A preschooler reaches into her cubby at a preschool center in Mountlake Terrace, Wash. Journalist Claire Suddath says the U.S. child care industry is in need of an overhaul.

Elaine Thompson/AP

Claire Suddath, a journalist in Brooklyn, pays about $24,000 a year for daycare for her 17-month-old daughter. Though considered cheap by Brooklyn standards, it’s still an enormous expense — and one that Suddath acknowledges is out of reach for many parents.

“I have written a lot of stories over the years and interviewed women about their career decisions, and I can’t tell you the number of women that I have talked to who have … dropped out of the workforce or switched to part-time solely because they couldn’t afford child care,” she says.

In her recent article for Bloomberg Businessweek, Suddath examines why child care is so unaffordable in the U.S., and why attempts to provide federal funding for care keep failing in Congress. Suddath estimates that 95 percent of child care owners and workers are women, and 40 percent of them are women of color. She notes that despite the high cost of care, the average child care worker earns about $24,000 per year — less than many janitors and baristas.

“No one goes into this industry because they want to get rich,” she says. “In a normal year, about a quarter of child care workers leave the industry because they just can’t afford to hold the jobs that they hold.”

Other countries subsidize child care, but the U.S. market, while heavily regulated, is largely private — which makes the industry particularly vulnerable. President Biden’s Build Back Better plan outlines a path toward more affordable child care. Suddath says that’s a start, but what’s really needed is a full system overhaul.

“The U.S. Treasury a few months ago released a report … and they found that your typical child care business in the U.S. entered the pandemic — this has nothing to do with COVID — [with] about a 1 percent profit margin, which is not a lot of wiggle room.”

Interview highlights

On why child care is not workable in the free-market sector

When you talk to economists, they say this is a perfect example of what they call a ‘classic market failure.

Claire Suddath

When you talk to economists, they say this is a perfect example of what they call a “classic market failure,” which is when the price point for a good or a service — in this particular instance it’s child care — is too expensive for the consumers, by which I mean families, and too expensive or unaffordable for the providers, the people providing that service, in [this] case, child care owners and workers. And there’s no way to fix that in a private market setting.

And we have other examples of this in our society. We recognize that we want everyone, regardless of income, to have access to a fire department. If your house catches on fire, we don’t ask, “Well, can you afford to put it out?” It’s better for us collectively if we put the fire out, we collectively pay for a fire department, we put the fire out so that it doesn’t spread to another person’s home because they happen to live next to someone who can’t afford the fire department. We have police, we have libraries, we have public schools, but child care has never been thought of in that way, even though I think, very obviously, it should have been a long time ago.

On why child care is so expensive from the provider’s point of view

It is heavily, heavily regulated. … There’s no one that I have talked to who is arguing to deregulate the industry, because these laws have been put in place over the years to keep babies safe. There’s fire safety codes, CPR requirements, square footage requirements so that you don’t just pack 50 babies into a room and leave them lying on the floor or something like that. And the sticking point, like the thing that makes it so expensive, is most states, it varies a little bit, but they require one caregiver for every three to four infants, which is children 2 and under. And that’s solely because they have to. Babies need constant supervision and attention. When they’re newborns, they nap four times a day, they eat every two hours. You have to swaddle them, you have to hold them all the time.

On President Biden’s attempt to address child care via the Build Back Better plan

Build Back Better is the first time in 50 years that the federal government has meaningfully even attempted to address this issue. So I want to give them credit for that. And if Build Back Better passed tomorrow and was fully implemented, every state bought into it, it would do a number of really great things. The two most important things would be it would make child care completely free for low-income families, and it would cap it at about 7 percent of many families’ incomes, which would about halve the cost for a number of Americans. You’d be saving millions of families millions and millions and millions of dollars. And, on the other hand, it also requires caregivers to be paid a living wage. It doesn’t really define that, but it’s generally considered to be like a kindergarten teacher salary, which would almost double their pay.

But the problem with Build Back Better is that it doesn’t create a whole new federal program from scratch. All it is saying is, “Hey, we as the federal government have a ton of money available for you states if you decide to address this yourself. And you have to come up with a plan that hits all of these points. ” … It’s just so complicated to ask all 50 states to come up with 50 different plans to address an incredibly complex issue. It requires a leap of faith to think that that is going to happen — and I honestly don’t think that it would.

On how the U.S. government subsidized child care in World War II

When World War II started, all of these women entered the workforce in huge numbers. … But they needed a place to put their children for practical reasons and in the very early days of World War II, you have stories of … a movie theater in Muncie, Ind., where women would just drop their kids off to watch movie after movie while they went and worked in a factory. Or in California there was a factory, and the women working there realized that they could leave their children in their cars, and [they] parked under the factory windows so that when they had their breaks, they could peer out the window and check to make sure that their kids were OK. And so Congress was like, “Well, this is not a good idea.” And they passed what’s called the Lanham Act.

It was passed in 1940, and by 1942, we essentially built over 3,000 Lanham centers, which were federally subsidized and run daycare centers for women working these jobs. And by and large, they were incredibly successful and they could tailor their services based on what their customers or their families needed, whether it was overnight care for people working the night shift or summertime hours or something like that. But they closed at the end of the war because funds were withdrawn, and that was the last time Congress has successfully addressed this issue. They did pass a bipartisan bill in 1971 [the Comprehensive Child Development Act], and it landed on Nixon’s desk, and had he signed it, we would have a federally subsidized child care program and I wouldn’t be talking to you about this today. But he vetoed it. And so here we are.

On the U. S. being so far behind other wealthy nations in terms of guaranteed parental leave

In most wealthy nations [guaranteed leave is] paid, and it is subsidized by the government because … if you are a small business and you have five employees and one employee has a baby and leaves for months on end, it’s a struggle. It’s a struggle for you to come up with the solution to cover their work, and it’s a struggle for you to pay for their leave. So in other countries, the government pays and it’s oftentimes months, if not a year. …

The initial plan for Build Back Better was [initially] 12 weeks, which is still just incredibly paltry. But it’s something. And now we’re maybe talking four weeks, if that, and … it’s so small, it’s almost insulting. … It’s not really helping you all that much. So we’re so far behind [with] this. Most countries have started dealing with this at least by the 1970s, and they have gradually, over the years, increased it as they have realized they needed to. And we’re still sort of back at 1974, or something like that, because we’ve never dealt with it.

Average Monthly Cost of Child Care in New York By Age

According to the Economic Policy Institute, child care costs for infants and toddlers in New York State average out to $15,394 annually, or $1,283 per month.

Assuming infants are between 0 – 18 months old, and toddlers are between 18 to 24 months, the NYC Comptroller used New York City data to determine that:

The Hidden Cost of Child Care In New York

While the cost of center-based care for infants and toddlers may be high, at least it’s a known cost. You can plan for it and budget accordingly. But what about unknown costs? The following are some of the external costs that many parents fail to anticipate:

Travel

As of 2016, center based child care providers only had capacity for 6% of children under 2 in NYC. (This number changes from neighborhood to neighborhood). The further you are from a quality child care center or day care, the further you’ll have to travel for access.

Fees, Deposits, and Income
Child care providers can charge fees if you pick your child up late, or have strict rules about upfront safety deposits. Moreover, a half-hour commute to and from a day care may mean you’re missing out on extra shifts or earnings.

Formula and Food
Many child care providers require parents to bring their own formula, which means an additional fee for you. Baby formula can cost you up to $1,500 in your baby’s first year. Additionally, if your childcare provider doesn’t offer food that meets your child’s dietary restrictions or allergies, you will have to pay for those as well.

It’s Harder Than Ever For Families To Afford Child Care

When infant care is nearly 5% more expensive than average state rent and 94% more expensive than tuition at an in-state public college, there’s a problem. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states that an affordable cost of child care is 7% of annual household income or less. By that token, less than 10% of families in the state can actually afford child/day care. When you consider parents with two or more kids, things look even more dire.

So how much does child care cost in New York? You could spend anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 a month on child care and related expenses, depending on where you live and your child’s age.

How New York Child Care Costs Compare Against the 10 states with the highest Child Care, preschool, infant care, and day care annual costs:

  1. Massachusetts ($20,913)
  2. California ($16,945)
  3. Minnesota ($16,087)
  4. Connecticut ($15,591)
  5. New York ($15,394)
  6. Maryland ($15,335)
  7. Colorado ($15,325)
  8. Washington ($14,554)
  9. Virginia ($14,063)
  10. Illinois ($13,802)
Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fair price for child care?
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says child care should take up less than 7% of a family’s annual income. The US average price of child care is a little over $11,000 annually per child.

Aiming for this price and percentage should ensure you’re paying a reasonable price for child care each year. But depending on your state (Massachusetts, California, etc.) it may be impossible to find center-based care providers at this price range.

What is the average cost of daycare in New York?
Although prices vary widely, the DCCNY provides the following market rate guidelines (prices are per week):

  • Less than 18 months: $371.00
  • 18-24 months: $268.00
  • 3-5 years: $242.00
  • 6-12 years: $210.00

Is New York a good place to raise kids?
Every state has neighborhoods that are great for raising children. New York State boasts some of the best public schools, parks, and museums in the world—a great place for children to enrich themselves. Great choices include Battery Park City, Elmira, and Peekskill.

What is universal pre-kindergarten?
Universal preschool describes the push to enact policies that ensure all families can access government-funded, high quality preschool. With the cost of day care skyrocketing, and many families unable to afford children, universal pre-kindergarten could lead to more parental security across the nation.

COST OF CHILD CARE IN PENNSYLVANIA: A BREAKDOWN FOR 2022

Many parents still find themselves stuck with the question: how much should I spend on child care? It’s hard to know how much money you should really dedicate to child care programs, since there seems to be so many (usually expensive) options to choose from. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has calculated that Child Care should not account for more than 7% of a family’s total income. So how does Pennsylvania look when applying this standard? An independent study from Pennsylvania State University found the average of child care costs to be $15,080. The problem becomes clear when you know that the average income of a household in Pennsylvania is $84,849, which means that the average family needs to spend around 17.8% of their household income support their child care. This is more than double the recommended cap of 7% set by HHS. Let’s take a deeper dive in the Pennsylvania’s child care problem.

Quality of Child Care

Keystone STARS is a system used by the State of Pennsylvania to rate the quality of Child Care services provided. The rating ranges from 1 Star to 4 Stars, where 1 Star stands for basic compliance to set State standards, or having a certification.

The following data shows the breakdown of the Keystone STARS rating of 95% of the total Child Care program providers in Pennsylvania:

  • STAR 1/No STAR Rating: 57%
  • STAR 2: 17%
  • STAR 3: 8%
  • STAR 4: 18%
Cost Breakdown

Having a a go-to answer for what the average cost of child care in Pennsylvania may seem helpful, but it doesn’t help families get a good estimate for what their individual situation may look like. Some may be looking for quality but cost effective care, while others may only want the top tier of child care. To help families get a better idea of what their child care costs may look like, we have broken down child care costs by care type (family based vs center based) and by STAR rating.

Family Child Care Costs in Pennsylvania:
  • The average monthly cost for Infant care: $880
  • The average monthly cost for Young Toddler care: $844.36
  • The average monthly cost for Old Toddler care: $803.88
  • The average monthly cost for Preschool Age care: $770
Center-Based Child Care Costs in Pennsylvania:
  • The average monthly cost for Infant care: $888.36
  • The average monthly cost for Young Toddler care: $858
  • The average monthly cost for Old Toddler care: $810.92
  • The average monthly cost for Preschool Age care: $770
Minimum-Quality (STAR 1) Child Care Costs in Pennsylvania:
  • The average monthly cost for Infant care: $884. 62
  • The average monthly cost for Young Toddler care: $839.74
  • The average monthly cost for Old Toddler care: $803
  • The average monthly cost for Preschool Age care: $762.52
High Quality (STAR 4) Child Care Costs in Pennsylvania:
  • The average monthly cost for Infant care: $1,129.04
  • The average monthly cost for Young Toddler care: $1,076.24
  • The average monthly cost for Old Toddler care: $1,032.02
  • The average monthly cost for Preschool Age care: $936.32

After taking a glance at some of these figures, one thing becomes clear: child care in the state of Pennsylvania is simply too expensive. If we take the lowest cost category, at $762.52 a month for STAR 1 care for a preschool-aged child,  child care costs would take up 10.7% of the average household income. This is already much more than the HHS recommended limit of 7% of household income. Doing the same calculations for infant care with the same STAR level would yield 12. 5% of household income, nearly double the HHS recommended limit. When even the bare-bones level of child care is out of reach for hard working families, there is and urgent problem.

Annual Child Care Costs in Top 10 Cities of Pennsylvania:

Now that you have an idea of what child care could cost you, based on your own care preferences, lets give a more personal look at overall care costs, based on geographic region:

1. Philadelphia, $17,205 ($700-$1000 more in the suburbs)
2. Pittsburgh, $15,563 ($700-$1000 more in the suburbs
3. Allentown, $12,052
4. Erie, $12,400
5. Reading, $12,385
6. Bethlehem, $12,296
7. Scranton, $12,840
8. Lancaster, $11,586
9. Levittown, $11,420
10. Harrisburg, $11,352

The Actual Cost of Childcare in Pennsylvania

So is this it? Do you round off a rough figure for your Child Care expenses? Unfortunately, the figures above serve more as a reference than an answer to your individual need. There are often more variables involved than what’s written on paper. Let’s consider a few of them.

Food is often included by Child Care providers, but some programs do not include it as part of their service package. This can involve pre-preparing food for your child at home, which becomes an extra overhead. Sometimes better or cheaper providers are available when you look for places further away; what people fail to realize is that the transport costs to far away providers can quickly add up to be a significant sum by the month end.

Child Care providers may frequently or infrequently organize extra-curricular activities and events which may require extra funds to prepare for, after all we all try to provide the best for our children. Some of them even provide special activity or hobby classes as a separate charge. For instance, a foreign language class or an instrument class can set one back for a pretty sum.

The increasing prices of Child Care has compelled many households to not have kids, for the very simple reason of not being able to afford one. Federal and State help is available but is a far cry from even beginning to meet the increase in cost every year. In Pennsylvania, the cost of Child Care services has increased by a whopping 62% compared to the relatively smaller increase in subsidy of 28%.

What Can We Do?

Proper budgeting and research can prevent one from getting financially crippled in times where expenses are soaring high. Often costs can be managed by leveraging priorities when considering options for Child Care. A full-time program can also free previously engaged household members to opt for paid work which can further alleviate the financial requirement. Parents are recommended to plan Child Care carefully to have an easier time raising a child. But that is only a temporary fix to a systemic problem. While planning may help some families be more financially afloat, that doesn’t change the fact that child care is simply too expensive for most families to afford. Child care is an issue that affects everybody, so we need solutions that will bring long lasting, affordable, quality child care to every Pennsylvania family.

How much does a private kindergarten cost in Kyiv – TSN Exclusive – tsn.ua

Parents often have a question, which kindergarten to choose for their kids – public or private, how do they differ and how much does a private one cost. To find the answer, it is important not only to know what their difference is, but also to be ready to pay a considerable amount for staying in a non-state preschool educational institution.

TSN.ua collected up-to-date information and monitored prices for kindergartens in Kyiv.

Private vs public kindergarten

Financing in private institutions is carried out at the expense of the parents of pupils: monthly fee, as well as an entrance fee. Separately, in institutions, parents can pay for the cost of meals, learning a foreign language or additional classes – for example, with a speech therapist or with a teacher. This is one of the main criteria that distinguishes such preschool institutions from the state ones. However, although they are considered free, parents still have to pay – for food or, for example, repair work.

Private gardens differ and the fullness of the groups. Depending on the age category, they can accommodate from 5 children. On average, this is 10-12 pupils. Small groups – nurseries, where children from 18 months to 3-3 years old are accepted. More children – in middle and senior groups – children 3-7 years old.

A significant plus in private kindergartens is that a special menu can be developed for kids. For example, if they have a health problem or intolerance to foods, gluten or lactose. Unfortunately, the menu in public kindergartens is standard, and therefore the preparation of separate dishes for children with allergies is not yet provided.

An important factor is also that private kindergartens usually have a closed area, which is guarded , as well as round the clock video surveillance. Sometimes you can get into the territory only with an electronic card.

Some private kindergartens and are characterized by a non-classical model of education, which is typical for public kindergartens. So, private ones can have different upbringing systems and teaching methods for kids: foreign languages, Montessori, Doman methods or, for example, Waldorf pedagogy methods.

The cost of private kindergartens

The cost of private kindergartens differs and depends on several factors: full or part-time, the number of days in a week, as well as the language of communication.

There are kindergartens that work according to the education system of different countries. Education in such institutions usually takes place either entirely in foreign languages, or partially in Ukrainian. The most popular foreign languages ​​are English, French, German and Italian. The cost of such kindergartens is one of the highest – from 12 to 15 thousand UAH per month – for a full day. The price for a half day or a two to three day week will be less.

High price and kindergartens that use non-traditional methods of education. The most popular now are Montessori methods, which are characterized by the principle of independence and freedom of the child, as well as Waldorf pedagogy – when kindergartens practice a relaxed approach to child development. A visit to such establishments is about 10 thousand UAH. However, there are gardens, the cost of which reaches 20 thousand UAH.

If we compare the cost of kindergartens in the districts of Kyiv, then it is the same in the same kindergartens, but differs depending on the type of institution.

What is included in the cost of kindergartens

Before enrolling a child in a kindergarten, parents must pay an entrance fee – this is 40-50% of the monthly fee, and sometimes – 100%. Establishments write on their Internet pages that these funds are used for office supplies, renovation of premises or playgrounds, purchase of furniture or toys, purchase of children’s gifts for the holidays, as well as various decorations or materials for festive matinees.

Usually at Monthly fee for the child’s stay in kindergarten includes the provision of the educational process, all the necessary textbooks and didactic materials, toys, five meals a day, as well as medical supervision.

However, sometimes parents have to pay separately for children’s meals. A day costs from 150 to 200 UAH. Depends on the number of meals, as well as the variety of the menu.

In some preschool institutions, parents have to pay extra for services of a psychologist or speech therapist. An hour of classes costs from 300 to 500 UAH. In some gardens, work with these specialists is included in the monthly fee.

Often, if you wish, you can pay for English classes : group – 120-150 UAH, individual – about 300 UAH. Preparation for school will cost an average of 200 UAH. A little cheaper – 120-150 UAH will have to be paid for mugs for drawing, modeling or singing.

As you can see, the cost of private kindergartens differs and depends on a number of factors. In expensive ones, the monthly fee usually includes additional classes or circles, in cheaper ones, you will have to pay extra for this. On average, a month of a child’s stay in a kindergarten will cost UAH 15,000. Whereas in the state – many times less. Whether it is worth overpaying depends primarily on the desire and capabilities of the parents.

Choosing Kindergarten is a serious and responsible step for every parent.
The main task of the kindergarten is to create comfortable conditions for the development of the child and his adaptation in society.
An important criterion for choosing a kindergarten is its location, as a rule, parents first of all consider institutions near their place of residence or work.
Perhaps the most important thing to make sure of is caring and attentive educators.
You can verify this in a personal conversation with educators or find out from the mothers of the children who visit the garden they like.
The presence of additional classes and certain specialists in the kindergarten is also very important.
Some kindergartens provide only childcare, others offer versatile activities – reading, writing, choreography, drawing, etc.
Speech therapists, psychologists, pediatricians work in some kindergartens.
