How much does daycare cost in Minneapolis, MN?

Daycare prices in Minneapolis vary by your child’s age, the type of program, and the neighborhood. Infant daycare typically costs more than toddler or preschool programs. On UrbanSitter, you can compare pricing for daycares in Minneapolis and filter by budget to find an option that fits your family.

How can I choose the right daycare in Minneapolis, MN?

What’s the difference between daycare and preschool?

Daycare programs typically support infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children with full- or part-time schedules. Preschool programs usually have a more structured, education-focused curriculum. You can learn more in our guide, Is preschool the same as daycare?

Are daycare expenses tax deductible?

Daycare itself isn’t deductible, but many Minneapolis families qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit or a Dependent Care FSA. These programs can help lower the cost of care. Learn more in our guide to daycare tax benefits.
