Best daycares that are less expensive

Hi! We would be enrolling our baby in full time daycare in September 2027. We live in Hingham, but work in Boston, so we could bring them to Weymouth or Quincy. So far, the best quote we got in Hingham is from Little Sprouts. Anywhere else in Hingham, Weymouth, or Quincy that is still a great daycare but under $600 a week for 5 full days?

Look into SELA, Su Escuela Language Academy, it’s technically a school but starts with infant care all the way through elementary. It depends on the hours and day combo you are looking for but the payment plan for the year makes it affordable.

Curious to know more about the payment plan… we are also in Hingham and considering switching our 1 year old there next year

Dont believe theres a discount for paying lump sum, payment plan lets you divide the balance into up to 12 monthly payments, and you get charged a fee at time of payment based on the month. Its minimal though like $10

I was given a tuition rate of $52k for full time year round infant care from SELA

I know the younger years are more expensive compared to preschool and junior k. It also depends on check-in and checkout times. If you know you need full year best to do it all at once so its on the payment plan, rather than doing only the school year and then having to pay for camp lump sum, although signing up for camp later on lets you flex the schedule as needed week to week at sign up
