In Manitoba the going rate is from $25-$35 a day. Not too many over $30. I started out 3 years ago charging $27. I have increased my fee to $28 for the long term ones and have started charging $30 for new kids. I really don't know how people can only charge $25 a day with the prices of everything going up. I would love to charge $35 but I know there would be no way I could fill spots as I am a bit of a drive for most.

I have a family member who lives in another city who pays $20 a day for daycare. I don't know how she does it, I really don't. (she doesn't do any sort of crafts though so that could be part of it).
