daycare costs
Preschool tuition fees
The expenses associated with professional childcare services, typically for young children while parents work.
Daycare costs vary widely by location, facility type, and child's age—infant care generally costs more than toddler care.
In many areas, daycare rivals rent or mortgage payments as a household expense: Daycare costs are eating up half my paycheck.
The phrase often appears in discussions of family budgeting, parental leave policy, and workforce participation.
