I raise my rates for new clients. So if one client leave and another one comes in, that client pays more. This way there is always a steady increase in my pay.

I just increase by $2.50 per day. Two clients are leaving and two come in that makes about a $1300 difference. I've also talked to other daycares in the area. We all raise our rates at the same time to around the same fee. This way we are never undercutting each other and he choice is made based on our different personalities and the way we run you daycare.
