Before/After School Care -- is it worth providing?

[Crayola kiddies]

I charge $25 for before and after and $15 for one or the other ..... But I only take one child and they have to go to my child's school..... The reason is because I have a special bus that comes right to my door and I don't want to lose that privilege by loading it up with dcks. Plus I don't want to have to hold a spot for summer for school age kids. So I have taken on one that has been with me since Jan. But for me it's purely profit because parents provide breakfast at my dayhome and the parent will be picking up the child 10 minutes after the school bus at the end of the day so I will have no cost output for this particular child. I think if we were allowed to have as many b/a as we want that would make things a little more profitable for us and help with the overload of school aged children needing care, as 90% of the calls I'm getting right now are for school aged children...... To bad those who make the rules don't see this !
