Thank you Busy ECE Mommy!

I considered raising my rate in the PM to $15. And keeping my AM rate at $10. I think I’m just afraid that all the families will walk away. That said, there are only 2 providers in my area that are doing care. The other one charges $12 before and $15 after. I just feel bad. I hate discussing money and I cringe every time. Our school doesn’t offer before/after school care. So there isn’t many options. When our school sent out a survey asking what parents would be interested in it the letter said that the fees in the AM would range around $7-$10 and the PM rate would be $11-$17. If enough families would be interested in it, the school would implement it. So my thought is, why wouldn’t the families go the school way (if it’s offered). The school would Possibly be cheaper, more reliable (alothough in 6 years I have NEVER had a sick day). I’m just scared everyone will leave
