As to your other questions - school age care is one of the hardest groups to get extra money out of the parents as they don't want to pay more than the school programs. Also kids who have been in school all day and especially one that struggled all day is not going to want to sit down and do more work - they need to eat a snack and move their muscles. If you are asking about being licensed going to assume you don't live in Ontario since a home daycare can not be licensed in Ontario so on that you would have to check with your province/city to find out what the rules are about the ages and number of children you can have in care.
