In my own experience, and from being an ECE and working in centers, I really needed that ME time, and away from the school-agers!

1. $20/day for before/after school is what I charge. IF they want one or the other it's $15/day
2. $40-45/day (depending on how much food/supplies cost) for PD DAYS
3. I personally take 2 weeks at Christmas and March Break off (I have mostly toddlers & preschoolers, so your situation isn't like mine currently)
4. Paid STAT Holidays
5. If I'm OPEN, you pay (I don't care if your child is sick or on holidays, I have bills to pay, and saving YOUR CHILD a spot)
6. For teachers children that I take, they can take the summer off without pay, but they have a non-refundable two-week deposit to keep their spot come end of August.


Some tidbits for you:
1. Decide if you want paid holidays, and how many
2. Decide how many holidays you want
3. Just think about March Break/Christmas for a sec: The extra $$ you'd make! Also maybe consider a week off over xmas?
4. Consider advertising for only teachers children! Then you don't usually have to worry about taking too much time off!

PM if you have any other questions. I'd be happy to help!
