I have a PT rate for up to 3 days of care (9 hrs max per day). It's equal to 3.5 days. I tell parents that I charge more per day for my PT rates b/c I cannot automatically fill the spot on the days their child isn't in DC. I also have to deal with more paperwork, more germs, more upset in my DC's schedule (you know how PT kids change the dynamic of the group), more parents, more parental rules (or lack of). Once I explain it that way, all of my parents understand. PT kids are my niche, and this year I am closed on Wednesdays. It's great. If a parent wants me 4 days a week, they contract for that extra day.
