Parkview daycare is great but its around 1K/Month. And like most have said, if the daycare is any good it will have a waiting list. My advice is visit a few of them and get on a few waiting list, some might open up sooner than others.

...but the fee increase will catch up - so basically it never gets any cheaper from when they start...

And factor in that you still pay even if you miss days or go on vacation.

We pay $700 at university Presbyterian. We have a 1 year old. Not sure on infants.

Yeah, we get 1 week of vacation a year that must be used all at once. No prorated weeks. And we don't get that week till he has been there a full year.

If you’re in a church or have a good social network, you could try asking if anyone knows of a good home daycare. We did that with our first and loved it. A bit cheaper too and certainly felt like a more family environment than the big facilities. You can always move over to a preschool a few years later.

I think up to one year. Until then its a 5 to 1 ratio, so the infants are more expensive.
We are paying $200 per week now, which I think is a pretty fair price for someone watching my child 40 hours per week.

Have you started funding your Dependent Care FSA yet?
Or do you have to wait till he baby is born? I don't remember.

Is that like a regular health FSA where you can determine the amount you set aside for it each year(ex: say you want to set aside $3000)...but you have full access to the full amount day one of your FSA?
Ex: I set aside $1500 for my health FSA. Our insurance/benefits at work is on fiscal so everything starts July 1. So July 1 I have access to $1500 in my FSA. They will just take out whatever the biweekly amounts out of my check.

Also, make sure you pick one that has cameras. Ours uses PB&J TV, it'll make your wife feel much better about being away from the baby.

No, it's just a pre tax savings account. Distributions require receipt proof of dependent care Costs. Max is $5k/year for 1 child iirc. Not sure if it increases proportionally per additional child or not.
