Do you have a website? I have found this helps me a lot...when I get an email inquiring about my daycare, whether it be asking for the fees or other things, I always direct them to my website where they will find all of the info including my rates. I charge right at the top of rates for my area (nobody is higher than me at this time)...so I figure if they look at my website and decide that what I offer is worth the fees, they will contact me back..if not, they are not the right clients for me.
