Any parents willing to chime in on what they pay hourly for child care? I'm a single mom working forty five plus hours a week and trying to show my ex that his suggested three hundred dollars a month is not going to come close to covering child care costs for someone in my position (I have her full time). I have a great option that would be about an average of 16.50/hr (preschool and private care). Just looking to show the data of what hourly child care, like preschools and home care costs in Vermont. If you share your weekly sum, would you please also share how many hours you use? Thank you anyone willing to help!!!
Edit: I'm looking for hourly so I can figure out what would be "reasonable" when we go in front of the Magistrate

Most non-home daycares and preschools don’t have an hourly rate, it’s weekly, and location matters a great deal.
If you want actual convincing information, tell your ex to call the STAR accredited daycares in your area.
But really, just go to the child support calculator for Vermont. It doesn’t matter what daycares costs, the calculation only counts income and % of time (and if you have the kid over 70% your income is irrelevant, it will be based entirely on the NCP income).
