I haven't considered doing B&A care, but I assumed it would be the regular fee since it takes up a full spot, PLUS school age children eat so much and would want more expensive craft materials/activities. I still don't think I'd want to do it. Once they hit the playground, they often learn some really bad habits, and I would not want them to bring them into my daycare. I wouldn't want to explain to my parents of toddlers where there children learned some of the words I hear from 7 year olds... yes, I did teach elementary school for 4 years... did not enjoy it.... too many children with no respect for teachers. I still remember asking a child in Grade 6 (about 11) to turn around (she had her back to me with her feet on the child's desk behind her) and she said, "Make me!" I almost died. Of course, I couldn't make her since I wasn't allowed to touch her, and I couldn't even say anything that would upset her. I called the principal, who invited her to hang out with him, but he was a cool guy, so that was hardly a punishment of any kind. I don't imagine pre-schoolers can ever be as rude as some school-age kids, but I guess I'll find out soon LOL!
