What hours are you "open"?

[agesandstagesdaycare]

7:30am - 5:00pm are the hours I'm open and parents can choose 9hrs of care within that time (ex: 7:30-4:30) but if they need any longer than 9hrs (up to 10hrs not going past 5pm) they pay $5 day more). Confusing I know but it makes sense to me. As a family we eat supper between 5:00-5:30 so I won't disrupt that.

Actually, this totally makes sense to me, and I have been thinking about implementing the same type of system. Right now, I have some great parents that don't leave their child here for 10+ hours, but I just had a family leave that dropped off at 6:45-7 am and picked up at 5:30. And they were very often late, at that!! It was just too long, for me and the child, if you ask me. Hmmmm.... may have to consider it.
