Some parents pay for day care, and Ohio was the 11th least expensive state in the nation for center-based care in 2011, the report said. New York had the most expensive infant care, which on average ran about $14,009.
As for the cost of child care, âitâs one of those âgulpâ things,â Best said. Paying for daycare is a barrier many families face, Rosenleaf said. On average, it costs $500 to $600 per month for a preschool age child to attend daycare. For an infant, it costs $600 to $700 a month, Rosenleaf said. âThe reason itâs high is you can only have six kids for one adult (four if itâs infants), itâs not like school where you can have 20 kids per adult.
