    Before/After School Care

    I have been runnning my dayhome for almost a year now but do not currently take children for before/after school care. My son starts kindergarten in the fall and I have been considering going to just before and after school care since there seems to be a need in my area. If you do take children for before/after school are you picking them up at school or at the bus stop? There are no schools within walking distance where I live so I would need to transport children to and from school and not sure how this would work or if I really want to do that. I definitely don't want to be picking children up from school if I need to transport infants/toddlers with me. Is there anyone who does before/after school care full time? How has it been working out? And any idea what to charge for this type of care, (I live in Calgary). I have seen people posting $15/day but I am pretty sure it is more like $30 here.

    First question as I am Calgary also is the kindergarten only half days(there are a few that do full days but most are half)? If you are talking full days so only doing B/A for that most of us charge a monthly rate and it depends on the area in Calgary you are in. I've seen anywhere between 300-500 and than wether you included PD days, school breaks, in that. I charge 400 and included PD days one week at Christmas and one week in the Spring. Then the summer is 35 a day. If you are talking half day care as in kindergarten lots of people charge there full time rate so anywhere between 600-800 also depending on your area.

    I'm in Ottawa so it might not apply but I have full time kids and before and after school kids. I was able to add a bus stop in front of my door as i had two school kids and three neighbours attending the same school. The first year I was able to get a spot on the bus for both as they were in pre-kindergarden and kindergaden but the second year I had to wait to see if their was leftover spots on the bus as my first grader was considered in the walking distance (like you would allow a 6 year old to walk to school!!!!!). I charge 20$ per day for before and after school care.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
