Placing an infant in child care can cost almost $9,000 annually, and preschool services run more than $7,000 a year. Putting more than one child into a program at one time can consume up to 25 percent or more of a family’s gross income.
In New Hampshire, the average annual cost of infant care is $8,755. Preschool care runs $7,014 annually, according to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies. That’s an average of about $168 per week for infant care and about $135 per week for preschool.
my youngest child is now 25 years old - way back when, I paid $50 per week for pre-school. Keeping up with inflation, $135 sounds about right.
