I'm in Newmarket and charge $39.00/day with receipts. I raise my rates every year or 2 by $1/day as is standard in daycare centres. I also offer sick days to parents to stay more competitive. Sick days are issued in direct proportion with the number of days per week a child is enrolled. Full time gets 5 days/yr, 2 days/wk gets 2 days/yr. I never charge for my vacation time apart from Stats that fall during that time.
