    If you can afford it, it will be exactly that expensive.

    When government of my country passed a bill that gives monthly payouts of X per child to parents who both work and have at least one child, all daycare centers in the country raised their prices by X next month citing inflation.

    Supply and demand do not set the price, when people have no choice but to buy anyway.

      Funny thing: countries where govt cap what can be billed and a min bar on the quality of service and salaries (tied to inflation) fare better than countries where a sum of money is paid out or a sliding scale based on family income is used
