I would start with small increments. "To cover the increased cost of operating, effective X/X/X, the prices of child care will be raised to $X."
Even $1/day per child is a nice cost of living increase. For me, that would be $1560/year
I hate entering the FP stuff BUT its like 10min of work 5 days of week, so less than an hour a week of work. I am on tier 1 (my DH is in school full time so we qualify based on our low family income - in a couple years we will be back on teir 2). For now I make $650-$750 a month of extra income. Its great and $100 more than I spend on groceries. Even after I am back on tier 2 it will be about $170 more a month or $2000 a year, which is totally worth it to me.
