Is six hours of care a full day?
Would you charge a full day's rate for 6 hrs? I know I do.
What if it was from noon til 6? With 2+ hours of nap time, is it still a full day's work?
Interested in your opinions.

Yes it is fulltime. I have charged less when I had a child come only for the morning when I had a b/a school child fil in the rest of the spot. Since they would be there until six I would charge the full rate.

anything over 4 hours is a full day at my daycare...doesn't matter what time of day to me. They pay full price for 4 hours and 1 minute lol.

For me my full time rate is $35.00 my 1/2 day rate based on 4hrs is $20.00 anything after is $5.00 an hour. So 6 hours in my daycare would be $20.00 + $5.00 + $5.00= $30.00. It's pretty close and if they go over the 7 hours it becomes more expensive than my full time rate, which is based on an 8-hour day.

Anything over five hours is a full day, anything under is paid per hour (I made it so that if they're paying per hour I get VERY close to the same rate as if they were full time). My full time rate is $43 a day. If they are there for 4 hours, it's $40. Part time is a minimum of three hours a day and three days a week - paid per hour. Anything over five hours is considered full time and they owe $43 a day

I don't offer part time so regardless of the hours a little one spends in my care, that is a full time spot they are filling and have to pay.
I agree with Michelle that a full day would be anything over 4 hrs if you do offer part time.

Ya - a half day in my program is specifically 7:30 - 11:30 or 8:30 - 12:30 and costs almost as much as a full day - I would not enroll a client who came only for the afternoon as it is too hard on them and the program to come into the program each lunch and REST.
I prefer full day clients for the consistency in income and flexibility in my program to not be tied to a 'clock' in the middle of the day and set my fees accordingly to discourage people contacting me wanting part time
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."

My contract says anything over 5 hours is full time .... I have half days and part time on my contract but somehow I never have an opening for that ... Wink wink. I only like/want/encourage full time.

If it was a young child I would also worry that the parents would let them have a very long nap in the morning and I wouldn't get my break in the afternoon. I f it's an older child who is going to sit and watch movies during nap time then may be more inclined to give a slight discount.
