Bringing up baby is only part of the challenge. Paying for baby's bills, including child day care, is another. According to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, or NACCRRA, a network of more than 700 child care resources, the average price of full-time care for a child under age four ranges from $4,056 to $15,895 per year.
