I agree with Cocoon to a point and wouldn't have it included on my website or in my ad but nobody has ever questioned me about my rates. To be honest, my rates are at the low end of the scale and I actually tell parents in an interview that my rent is lower than most because I've been in my apartment for a long time. But I feed the children a lot of organic foods, all home cooked and they can see all the painting and crafting that is done and posted on my walls and sent home, so they know I'm spending a lot of money in those two areas. But food costs keep rising so that's why I'm raising my rates this year.
