Yes, I was annoyed at the price being higher too. However, one saving grace is that HoCo offers a discount if you have to do both before and after care - it's $459/month total, compared to CA's $430/month total, so not a huge difference. In addition, CA has not announced their 2018-2019 rates so it's possible those will go up per usual, putting it close to HoCo's 2018-2019 rates. HoCo did not increase their rates from last year.
