Parent and child may visit twice with no payment - mom stays but only twice as I am not a playgroup. They come first thing in the morning and then go home so child can have morning nap or whatever and we go on with our day barely disrupted. For alone visits they pay nothing for the first one which is an hour long = three free one hour visits then $15 for a half day no meal and $20 for half day with lunch and full fee for the full day.
