I agree with charging the same for all ages. They are taking up one spot. Infants are a lot of work, but so are toddlers(preschooler s). The school age are only charged for before and after school but if they are here the full day--over 4 hours they are charged the full day rate.

In our area it seems that the rates vary from $35-$50 per day for in home daycare and $60. for centre/institutional care. Before and after school is $28. or just before or after is $20. In Vancouver the rates can be almost $90. per day--for alicensed cente/institutional care.
