I have a question about increasing income in child care. I have been in business for 15 years now. For the first 5 years I did participate on the food program. It seemed in those years I never was able to get the full income each month. They always found "something" wrong. So I stopped the food program altogether. I am currently State Registered and am only an inspection away from becoming State Certified so I can pick up more kiddos. I know financially the food program will help income wise. But, is it really truly worth putting up with all the extra work involved? Also, what is the best way to raise your rates for current families?
