The average cost of infant care at a child care center is about 11.6% of the median income for a two-parent household in North Carolina, according to a report by the NC Department of Commerce. The Economic Policy Institute reports only about 20% of North Carolina families can afford infant care at the 7% benchmark rate.
We’re rating this as mostly checks out, because the 7% benchmark is specifically set for low-income families, and The Economic Policy Institute’s statistic is based on infant care, which is the most expensive type of child care. Out-of-pocket costs for parents typically go down as their child grows, because a toddler can be served in rooms with more children per caregiver than an infant.
