Daycare Costs per Week by State and Age Group

As a child grows, costs decrease with age. National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) estimates that for babies and toddlers, the average cost of center-based daycare is $243 weekly. The average cost of daycare for a 4-year-old, preschool child is $183.25 weekly — quite a difference.
