Charge for afterschool pick up/care?

[Daycare123]

hey everyone!

Just wondering what to charge for after school care. It is pick up and about 1 1/2 2 hours care?

Thanks!

Some advice unless you are picking up your own child, doing pick ups is a real hassle in the winter time. So charge accordingly.I used to pick up my own boys daily along with two schoolagers, all I can say is thank goodness for my runnabout stroller. I charge 32/ day for school age. All year round. I charge 49.50 for my full time spots just to give you an idea.

Note : My 4 seater runnabout stroller is for sale if anyone is interested.

I charge 15 for before or after and $25 for both. But the bus comes right to my door .

Make sure you make the mom aware that it isn't just about the care but that her "time" starts when you have to start dressing the little ones to go to the school and continues till the time the child leaves - ie more than the 1 1/2 hours. The entire time you are busy because of the school age child doing something related specifically to them is a factored into the charge so if it is a 20 minute walk to the school and it takes 20 minutes to dress the kids and get them into the stroller then that is 40 minutes plus the time to get there, back and care for child.

On the stroller - if it would seat all five I would be interested I will be back to three babies, a two year old and a 3 year old with very short legs and stamina.

Like ECE53 stated, make sure you charge accordingly, cause it is a huge ass hassle for you to bundle up those little ones for 10 minutes of going outside.

Also make sure that it doesn't disrupt your little ones nap times. I wouldn't do b/a school children if it I had to wake up the little ones! But luckily buses come at 4, so I'm safe!

I charge 15 for before and after or just one or the other. My local school charges 19 for before and after so I stay competitive.

It will only seat 4. What I used to do was have my older ones take turns walking or riding. Each seat does hold 50lbs though...... So I sit even 4 year olds !
