What Will Childcare Cost in Northeast Ohio?
Add each child to see a typical yearly cost at centers in the county group that includes Cuyahoga, Summit and Geauga (2024 state survey medians).
About $1,408 a month, or $325 in a typical week.
Medians from the 2024 Ohio Early Care and Education Market Rate Survey (centers). Half of programs charge more and half less, and before- and after-school care assumes a 39-week school year. Lower your cost with Ohio childcare assistance and the childcare tax credit.
How This Calculator Works
- Uses the median weekly price at child care centers in Ohio's highest-price county group, which includes Cuyahoga, Summit and Geauga, from the 2024 Ohio Early Care and Education Market Rate Survey.
- Full-time means 25 hours a week or more; part-time is under 25 hours.
- Infant, toddler and preschool care count 52 weeks a year, before- and after-school care 39 weeks and summer care 10 weeks.
- Half of programs charge more than the median and half less, so ask each center for its exact rate.
