Advice needed about pricing, simple or complex

[5 Little Monkeys]

Things like disposables vs cloth, breastfed vs bottle fed, attachment parenting vs non etc are generally things that parents feel very strong about. They need to know that their provider will support their decision either way and still provide quality care.

I understand that you think cloth is better but that is one of those things that is a parent's choice and our opinion on it won't really matter to them. I would keep your personal opinion out of things like that, at least on your website. Just my opinion though, obviously do what feels right to you!

I'm a licensed family daycare in B.C. and in my area we're only allowed 2 under 2 yo so there is a demand for those spots, particularly for the12 m.o. age. A lot of daycares here don't accept 1 yo, I believe, because they do need so much more of your attention. Particularly if they don't walk. Therefore I charge at different rates for the 1-2 age group. I charge a little less for 4 year olds because they're usually in group centres by then so it's harder to fill that age bracket.

I don't do math I actually Hate it lol so I would't want to figure out the best plan for me etc as a parent. I charge $40/ day under 2 and $35/day over 2. If they come 1/2 day tough luck unless its a child who only uses 1/2 day regularly then they pay $20.

I'm simplifying my prices, as well as my entire website.
