CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – It costs a little over $14,000 on average a year for infant care in Virginia, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
That’s close to in-state tuition costs – not including room and other extras – at the University of Virginia.
ReadyKids Charlottesville works with families to set kids up for success. The nonprofit says child care is expensive because group care involves reliable, trained adults, and the highest cost is paying their salary.
