Child Care Fees — What's Happening?
June 15, 2009
Curiosity is what keeps me open to a sense of hope. It staves off negativity.
-Carrie Brownstein
Every year Exchange conducts a survey on child care fees in North America. This year the survey will be especially significant in measuring the impact of the recession on fees.

We need high participation in the survey in order for the results to be meaningful. On our web site we publish the average weekly fees (based on standard survey methodology) in regions of the United States and for Canada for children who are...
  • 6 months old
  • 2 years old
  • 4 years old
  • 6 years old
When participation in a state or province reaches a set threshold, the web site also displays average fees for that state or province.

We invite you to share
confidentially the fees for your program by participating in this week's Exchange Insta Poll.



Exchange has packaged six of its practical management resources into a single “Center Manager’s Tool Kit” and is offering the entire set at a 33% discount — separately these resources would cost $175, but we are offering the entire Tool Kit for only $112. Resources in the kit include:

I'm just curious why you do a survey of rates. Child Care Resource and Referral already does a rate survey of child care providers and centers and is willing to share information with parents and others who would like to know average rates for their area. CCRR does the rate survey as part of the requirements of the Child Development Block Grant.......It seems like a duplication of services.
