Man, I hate to the bearer of bad news, but you are in for sticker shock. I don't know if you will be able to find daycare for two babies that won't run you over 36K for the year. Close friends of ours have ONE kid in daycare (not even a FULL day, more like 9 to 3, or 4) and they are paying ~20K per year. A full day with extended hours (the kind of schedule that working parents would require) would run 23K. And, it's not even that great of a daycare (based on their feedback). They had a second kid and can't really afford daycare for both, so they are doing all kinds of scheduling gymnastics to keep just one in daycare and the baby at home. Our other friends are spending the yearly equivalent of 27K, for a 2.5 year old. This is by far one of the biggest issues/challenges for young, working families in JC.
