re: How much do you pay for child/day care for your little ones?

My ex GF owned a daycare. After rent, utilities, insurance, food costs, payroll, supplies, etc, its not the money-maker that everyone thinks it is. Plus dealing with low paid staff, state inspections, disgruntled parents, can be a PITA.

She took an offer from someone to buy the business, she accepted the offer and got a job running the before school and after school program at a Christian school. She made less money, but her stress level greatly decreased.
