Many caregivers charge the same daily rate as they do for their toddlers as in the rate the parents are paying doesn't go down when the child goes to school and especially if you are responsible for getting them to the bus stop or to school and meeting them again. I use the example that a child in afternoon school is gone the same length of time the others are napping. They are still eating the same foods, doing the same crafts and using the same supplies. Even a morning child expects to do the craft in the afternoon or otherwise be entertained and rarely naps so they are there more hours than before so to speak.

Interesting on what was posted above about the school age. I always thought it was had reached their tenth birthday and then didn't count anymore. Not that I want any of them any more anyways.
