Charging per hour/per day?

[5 Little Monkeys]

For me, it's just what I'm used to with having worked in centres before opening my hdc. We always had schedules for the kids so we knew when xxx was coming and going.

For myself, I like to know when to expect kids and parents. It helps me feel organized and helps me plan my day so that the bulk of our "fun" stuff is done when all are here.

Thankfully I have had very little experience with Parents who think they need to get their money's worth from me (if anything, they get more than they pay for! Tooting my own horn, sorry) and they actually enjoy their children and want to spend time with them. I can really only think of 3 parents who left their child here much longer than needed( 2 even said it was because their child tired them out!!), but still within my hours so I of course never said anything. Might not be the way I'd parent but it doesn't make it wrong.
