Daycare charges 7am to 6:30

[Mrs Ahmed]

Do you think it is fair amount for me to charge 2 kids for 220$ including food, pick and drop though they are staying, one kid for4and half hour and other almost 9 hours?
thanks

it all depends on what the norm in your area is? It's sounds a little low! I charge $225 for one child for 9 hours a day in Southern Ontario.

Sound like you are also offering a special service of staying open late until 6:30pm. I would be charging more like $370 a week. Don't let people bargain you down. They would have a very hard time finding some else to take their kid until 630pm. Are you also serving them dinner? That would be even more money on top.

I am serving them breakfast, one snack for school and lunch. After school I am also giving them meal.

Looks like you have a lot of competition in Brampton and prices range from 20 to 40 day. I guess you need to figure out what you need to be paid for it to worth it for you! The cost of food and craft materials for example and all the extra work of going back and forth to schools. You need to find an Association for Daycare provider's in Brampton to help get you started out.
