I thought it would be eye opener for some people to see some of the difference between child care in the metro versus rural northern minnesota.
Metro
Must put down deposit- 2 weeks
$150.00 a week, no free days
Pay every week, on a specific day
Must put money down to hold your spot, if child hasn't started yet
Rural Northern Minnesota
No deposit required
Can do drop in for $22.00 a day, 3 days (part time) a week $18.00/day, or 4 or 5 days (full time) a week $18.00/day
Pay every other Friday, or else when it's convenient for you
No money down, just pay when you start
Things that are the same:
Paperwork is the same
Praying that the care will be the same
Lots of toys and activities
Spends a lot of time outside
We have had good luck with child care provider thus far in life!!
