What to charge for PT care

[kindredspirit]

Children under 2 eat into my ratios, so I only do half day for older kids. My full day rate is $35, so a morning preschool child, only getting snack, is $15, and after school only eating snack is $15. I like having less children from lunch and nap, so I'm happy to have a morning-only child right now. I do put into the contract that it follows the school calendar and closures though, so that I can take the school aged child full day as needed (right now the preschooler I have has a SAHM, so this is fine with her).

I would also make sure they realize if they opt to sign up for half days they do NOT have the option of suddenly deciding they want full days and they cannot just occasionally want a full day.

If you plan to take on a before school and after school child then their spot is limited, and remains limited to the 8:30-12:20 time slot.

I would make this known and have them sign to that. They may decide it is in their benefit to pay for the full time spots to have flexibility to change back to full time when needed.
