I had some out in the hinterlands.

DM'd.

$1350 a month, for 3 days a week, (in a daycare center about 15-20 minutes north of Boston.)

Teacher salaries vary widely. New teachers may start at $50k. Gain some seniority, get a masters, pick a good district, and your easily clearing $100k+.

I live in southern New Hampshire and it’s been raining today, I popped my head outside and it smells normal out there but I don’t think I’m gonna go out there in it.

So my long answer is up here in New Hampshire no because it’s currently raining

Phone the Kennedy Compound and see who answers.

$100 ish per day

How do you know they didn't?

Was it Ben Affleck?

Areas directly near ocean or commuting time to Boston are pricey. Jump out to just beyond and hour and 15 minutes from Boston and affordability will jump.

There are different requirements for teaching here so you'll want to make sure that's sorted first.

Look outside the 495 area

Advocate for a living wage if you really care about them. Advocating for tipping is propping up predatory employment

Yeah, because daycare has to be a highly regulated industry and the liability is just enormous. It's really hard to see how it can actually be made more affordable. And subsidizing daycare isn't even necessarily a good idea because the economic benefit of another parent working often isn't more than the cost of the subsidy.

bright horizons is probably like 99th percentile in price. they are insane

At my facility, 5 days 10 hours in metrowest for infant is gonna be just over 600

I’m a teacher and the two districts I have worked for in Metrowest offer daycare programs for teachers. It’s around $2000 a month for full time infant day care (no discounts for teachers of course LOL).

My child was also briefly at a private daycare in Metrowest while we were on a waitlist for my current daycare- it was about $2000 as well. I feel like $2000 is the average rate for most daycares we checked out except some really scummy home daycares we visited.

One benefit though to a daycare for the children of teachers is that we don’t have to pay for the summer months! I found that most private daycares will require you to keep paying summer tuition even if you won’t need it to remain in their program.

We are looking to move to the Milford/Franklin area

OP, where are you located? Give me approximate area if you want to remain anonymous.

Depending on where you go, you could be looking at $1800 min for a 2 bedroom, $2100 seems to be more the norm.

Yeah I figured there would be some extra exams I would have to take in order to teach in a different state.

Could it be.... shark poop?

It’s good for 5 years and then can be extended once for another 5 years - so 10 total!

I was looking for a 2 best room if possible but it al l depends on pay too. If I can afford it on teacher salary then yes, if now, I’ll make due with 1 bedroom
