I try to stay away from families with multiple children for the fact that others have posted about leaving so many openings if they leave. Right now I don't offer a sibling discount but if I were hard-pressed and If I were to give a discount I would probably only give a 10% discount on the additional children and only if they weren't under age 2. My rate is $160 a week giving them a $32 a week discount for the 2 additional kids making it $448 a week instead of $480.

You should think about the long run. Even at a 10% discount $32 a week (using my numbers here) in six months (24 weeks) that's $768 in discounts ... a full year (52 weeks) would be $1,664! If you do give a discount I'd do what Nan once suggested and give weekly receipts with the total amount that they paid AND the total amount in savings you've given them to date, otherwise then the parent just thinks of that rate as "their going rate" instead of a discounted rate. Good luck and KUP on what you decide.
