New crop of providers in my area charging WAY less with longer hours?

[5 Little Monkeys]

As I've said before, I don't know how they do it on low wages and long hours. I assume their finances are better than mine! However, I guess it's no different than any other business that provides a service. There are differences in fee's for painters, nail salons, hair dressers, mechanics, massage therapists, bakeries, etc etc etc. I choose to go to places like that with a fair price and quality work and I hope that parents view daycares with that same mentality. Thankfully, that has been my experience so far.

I also read a point on here that makes sense too. If you are just starting out as a business, you will likely charge less than those that have been doing it for longer.

I pay attention to what others are charging so I can keep up but for those that charge less than I do, I don't worry about it. I am confident in my services and have picked fee's that will allow me to stay in business. If they want to go to a cheaper dc that is fine with me! There are times I choose the cheaper services too Sometimes it bites me in the butt and sometimes it's a great pay off!
