How much does daycare cost in San Antonio, TX?

In Bexar County, full-time infant care at a child care center had a median price of $171 a week ($8,892 a year) in 2022, and preschool care $156 a week. A family child care home charged a median $154 a week for an infant. These prices come from the U.S. Department of Labor and aren't adjusted for inflation, so expect higher rates today.
