Hi! I currently work in a christian day school and have ages
2 and 3. the pay is not great, even for a college student
like myself. Pay at my daycare ranges between $7-$8 an hour,
but As far as discounts, my daycare offers free tuition for
children of workers. I live in Tennessee, so i dont know how
different it will be for you, but i hope this info helps!
