I understand there are overhead costs, but 90%?!

Daycare costs are not as bad in my town as it is in many cities, but still it's a high cost. Especially w/ three kids. We have one child in all day care, and two in after school care. Good news is my wife only has to pay half the cost on the youngest now that she is employed at his daycare.
