How Long a Day Will You Agree To ?

I work 7:30-5:30, and they can choose a 9hrs time slot within that. I haven't had to charge a fee for anyone going over 9 hrs, because generally if they know that is your rule they will make it work. Most of my families have one parent drop the child off and the other pick up to make it work! A 10 hrs day is extremely long day for the children, not to mention myself!

Agreed ~ only I am 7:30 am - 4:30 pm for my normal program hours and than offer 'extended hour services' as early as 7 and as late as 5 with an 'additional fee' attached for me working over the 9 hours in general ... I started out working long hours and quickly realized that I was going to burn out!
