In our area there are no public day care centers. A day care facility, The Children's Center, is available at Fermilab, but there is a waiting list, so you should sign up as soon as possible. The day care facility is flexible about the number of days and hours the child attends each week and charges accordingly. The current monthly cost of full time Child Care at this facility is $961 for infants, ages 6 weeks to 15 months; $874 for ages 15 months to 2 years; and $788 for children 3 years to 6 years old. Prices may change. For more information and current rates, contact the Children's Center Manager, Patti Hedrick, at x3762.
