Understanding childcare costs

Childcare centers / daycares
Infant as a childcare center

than Toddler care

Childcare centers are usually associated with:
  • Larger facilities, with many children (from 20-100 or more)
  • Separate areas for different age groups
  • Larger staff, often with some professionals and certified caregivers
  • Professional administrators
Childcare centers are likely to have these benefits:
  • Caregivers with professional or specialized training
  • More children and teachers for your child to socialize and bond with
  • A more structured environment and a professional infrastructure
  • More teachers, which means substitutes are readily available
  • Supervision of caregivers by managers
In-home childcare centers

than Toddler care

In-home childcare providers often have:
  • Smaller facilities, such as a home or church
  • Few children, often 3-10
  • Mixed ages
  • Fewer caregivers, usually 1-4
In-home childcare usually has these advantages:
  • Less expensive
  • Mixed age groups for diverse interactions
  • Lower risk for communicative illnesses (fewer children)
  • More home-like, less institutional
  • Fewer children per teacher
Our BestPlaces childcare statistics are based on our research of childcare providers across the United States and reports published by Child Care Aware of America. Care.com and the Economic Policy Institute. For some counties, childcare expenses were not directly available. Using the available data at the national, state and county level, we used linear regression to identify the most significant predictor variables and create equations to provide values for the missing data.

Saving money on childcare

IRS childcare credit
You may be eligible to claim a tax credit for expenses related to child care and dependent care. If you paid a care provider (such as a daycare center, babysitter, or summer camp), to care for a child under age 12 or younger (or a disabled dependent of any age), you may qualify for a tax credit of up to 35 percent of qualifying expenses of $3,000 for one child, or up to $6,000 for two or more children or dependents.
