    My hours are 6:45 - 5:00 ..... I did have someone that I accepted into care for 6:30. I didn't mind it cause she went right to bed and slept for 3 hours. But she was also there till 6pm ..... I only charged them my regular fee cause I was new and didn't know any better ..... I have since smartened up and would charge more ..... My children don't get up early either. So you have to decide if you really need to fill the spot? And if the answer is yes and there are no other prospects and they truly are the perfect family then charge them a premium ( enough so you won't regret them later) Also if they child is quite young and will go right down for a nap that will give you a chance to vege for a bit till your day starts. In my area I had to open earlier in order to get families as I am in a rural area and parents need the time to navigate into the city. Just my nickel ! (formerly 2 cents)

    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
