Ya, if $25 is the b/a price than for sure the daily rate needs to be more than that!
Glad the interview went well! :)

Exactly, that is why I specifically referred to Ontario. Are you telling me that summer camps in Manitoba run at $100 a week for an average of 40 hours a week?
Thank you !!! I think I felt insecure as the dcf I termed acted like it didn't matter they were leaving ! I have been told my dayhome set up is excellent , I offer interesting crafts and unit studies and really plan nutritious meals and snack !!! I was charging her less due to her circumstances and dealt with her sick kids continually !
And 2 sick days ended it ? Everyone else was so nice and had no issue !! Even told me I was so worth it �� , so I was kind of shocked when the one I "helped out " had a problem !!
But last night went really good and I'm feeling better about it !!!
Yes, our ymca program is 75 - 125 per week for summer camps. My oldest daughter picked the fairy themed camp, which is lucky for me. That one is a short week with the holiday in it, so it was only 75. I think the full weeks are 100 to 125. That is without the extended care though. I think this one is 8-4:30, and if you need earlier, you pay a bit more.
Sounds like you run a great hdc and it's the parents loss! Some people react funny to rejection and try to act like it doesn't bother them when in fact it does.Quote:

I do not like to take older kids now, first of all they eat more than I do most of the time and quiet time in the afternoons is really hard for them. I still have my regular daycare all day so I just find it too hard to deal with kids that need to be busy all day with no down time. That's what summer day camps are for.
Me tooo !!!! And I would love to charge the going rate in Ontario too ! LolQuote:

I think that's probably true. I think the housing market in my area is wonderful. However, quite a few people think that it's over priced. Probably the same people complaining about the cost of childcare! LolQuote:
