All about the money parents

[mimi]

Thank you Reggio for your post. Very enlightening!!! I have been charging $40.00 per day for the past 31/2 years so it is a bit on the low side but close to the norm. In my neighborhood a lady has opened a daycare. Her ad says she is ECE and she is charging $30.00 per day. I hope she is full because there is no way I will or can charge that. Why oh why did she not research the area prices? I am charging fair market value and she under cuts her "competitors" by 25%. That's lousy business and she is doing herself and our industry a deserve. I hope my future interviewees do not see her ad 'cause then I will have to explain and justify over and over about getting what you pay for.
