Not too long ago, the Dayton Daily News observed "Child care costs rival college tuition." However, we want you to know that in contrast to this headline, Horizon Education Centers offer affordable day care and there are a number of ways to get a discount on the cost of placing your child in our care. Quality child care is important and it can put your child on a path to success so they are able to attend college.
And while the Dayton Daily News found that "Annual costs for infant day care in Ohio rival tuition at four-year state colleges," they also noted that while childcare costs take up a significant part of a family's budget, "Child care is more affordable in Ohio than 39 other states…"
Many families sacrifice to send their children to day care programs that offer to not only watch a child but to nurture that child educationally and socially because "Quality child care can make a significant difference in a child’s development. It helps children learn important social, emotional, intellectual and physical skills."

The article also mentions that a number of parents place their children in the care of family home providers, in part because it may cost less, but also because the atmosphere may seem more like home. Some family home providers do an excellent job, while others may not. Because family home care providers in Ohio are only required to be licensed and have a background check when they have more than six children in their charge, it is hard for the state to regulate the level of care that is provided.
