We just got a letter that our center 's annual increase is applicable as of July 1st. It will now be $89 per child per day. Thank goodness we only need 1 day a week for our two kids! This includes food but not nappies. Ds in at school next year so will only be for one child in 2014, thankfully.
Having said this though, compared to what I get paid as a professional nanny- its cheap as chips wink
$101a day is a big deal when you're not working though, hey?
That's the thing hey.. We really can not afford it anymore but I'm so damn conflicted!!! Ds loves it and has friends that he looks forward to seeing every week so I feel like I'm doing him an injustice by taking him out...but geeze we won't be able to afford the fees soon!

Can you afford it for another year before the fee increase next year? I would be the same if it were my ds. And it's so nice for them to go and play with their friends and have some fun away from home. What gets me is they say they raise their fees to match yearly wage increases and whatever... My wage doesn't go up every year and neither does dp's but we still have to pay the fee increase... Fair? Hardly!
Wait where did your other reply go??!! The fee increase starts in 3 weeks (1 July) and my paid leave runs out mid July.. Ds won't be going next year as he goes to a Government preschool which I don't have to pay for, yay! I think I'm just going to have to suck it up... Find some work on the side lol. Might need to bring out my mafia side!
