I'm wondering!

Thank you, your input has helped me, I felt that as soon as they turn 3 I needed to drop the price because I have heard from some preschools they charge $650.00 but I have to think that in daycare the kids stay longer, eat and I provided in preschools they don't provide the food and is less hours and is two days a week depending, thank you it makes feel better that I don't feel obligated to change it, my clients are not asking me they feel very comfortable with my service, and I was finding out just in case they ask me but I don't think they will.

This is because in preschools and daycare centres with the increased age comes increased ratios. They have more children per teacher so therefore can charge that bit less and still pay everyone and stay profitable.

Home daycares do not get more children just because a child turned 3, so there is no reason to lower their fees. It means a direct pay cut to you. Your job does not change based on the child being 35months verses 36months...your pay should not change either! If they ask, tell them this. Centre do it because they are suddenly allowed to have more kids and less teachers. Your daycare ratios stay the same, their child's level and quality of care stays the exact same and your PAY should stay the exact same!!
