I am finding most dayhomes in Winnipeg are starting to charge a little more and not providing lunches or snacks. So at $28 per day I'm feeling like I spending a lot of that on groceries. I am providing very healthy food and spending a lot of time preparing it. I have given the Mom the choice of bringing her LO's breakfast or paying an extra $2 a day for it. I am thinking that's pretty fair, especially since they are dropping her off at 6:15 am!!

Thanks for all your advice!
