Getting quotes for daycare

When you collect daycare quotes, note the date and the expiry. A quote that is not held open for a reasonable period is not a firm price.

Timing your daycare

Scheduling matters as much as the quote for daycare. Emergency and same-week work carries a premium, while a planned slot booked ahead usually lands closer to the middle of the range.

Is Daycare cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in New Brunswick.
How many quotes should I get for daycare?
Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. Local providers in New Brunswick can confirm how that applies to your area.
