    Charging full rate for B&A

    I have been told by a few providers in my area that I should charge my full rate when my B&A School kids are here all day. Right now I charge $20/day (September to June) and only charge an extra $10/day if the school is closed due to a strike.


    The norm in the area is $10 to $15 /day.

    Do any of you charge more if the child is here for a full day (snow day, PA day etc.)?

    i charge a flat rate of $10 day but I am increasing it for any new clients to $15 day. the only reason I charge this little is because another provider near me only charges $4 /hr. I always charge $30/day for P.A.Days, snow days, strike days etc. but I should chage $35 because that is my part time rate.

    Full days for school aged kids on PA days and spring/summer break here is the same as babies and toddlers pay for full days.

    They pay full day rate for all day care. If they choose not to send them one day, they still pay be the b&a rate they normally pay.

    I have only been doing this a short time and was unaware that others where charging full fees on full days. I just thought that you charge enough to help cover for these days. I am now rethinking this.

    my full rate is $35/day

    Think about it this way - if parent decided to not use your daycare for a full day and instead hired a girl in grade 8 who was 12-13 years old to babysit she would be paying them probably at least $20 for the day so for sure that is what you should be charging which is the b/a rate of $15 plus $20 to equal $35 like the rest of the kids.
