Child Care Fees — What's Happening?

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.
