Rates

[Inspired by Reggio]

Ya the rates here range from $20 - $45 a day for full time depending on the area of the city you live in, the program you are offering - aka the lower end tends to be your 'illegal' programs with the $20 a day with no receipts and to be able to actually make a living they are 'warehousing' which is the term we tend to call those who care for more than 5 children legal allowed and this is very common in some areas and parents do not 'complain' because the service is cheap and they see it as 'their choice' and the government should mind their business about regulations and so forth the high end people tend to be the ones that live in the area of town were property taxes are very HIGH and the homes are larger and therefore the cost of operating a program is higher.

I am mid range at $32 for full time and $35 for part time .... however that is for the same rate 52 weeks of year regardless of attendance or me being open as it includes paid stats, 10 paid days of vacation for me and 10 paid personal days each year for me so in reality if you are comparing me to those who do not 'charge' for days they are closed than I am $35 for full time and $38 for part time.

I've never heard this term before! Yes, there are quite a few of them. When I closed my Brampton daycare one of the little ones that was in my care went to a provider that had over 10 kids in her home at once!!! That did not include the after and before school kids.
There is a provider who lives around me that my daycare family tells me that she has 10-15 kids and mix of full time/part time and before and after school kids.
