If you can help it, I would suggest NOT doing part time. I don't know what your rules are but here, it's just too hard to fill that part time spot when they leave with someone who needs the EXACT same days as the child leaving.

I have 2 part timer's left who share a spot and I just cross my fingers they leave at the same time! Otherwise, I will have to leave that spot open and hope the other one leaves shortly after so that I can just fill it with a full time spot after that.

Right now, I don't necessarily take part time but I filled my last full time spot with a child who comes 4 days a week and pays the regular fee ($32) and the 5th day a week they pay the holiday rate of $22. However, that spot is theirs and if they want to send her the 5th day they can, they just send the extra $10. With my 2 part timer's I can't do that though as they don't have the option to come other days or I would be over my numbers.

Part time is just too much of a hassle and a gamble to my income. It's the only thing I regret about opening up!
