I don't offer sibling discounts. I'd charge the full rate per child. If a family can afford to have all three children in fulltime child care, then they can afford the rate I offer.

Relationship building with parents is definitely a part of a sibling care. If you do decide to take them, be clear on whether the others can be here when one is ill and your rate if the oldest goes to traditional preschool or morning/afternoon kindergarten (if it will change at all, mine doesn't). These are typical issues with large sibling groups.

I typically view this situation as I'm doing them a favor rather than the other way around. It is difficult to find availibility for three children when providers have limits of 6 and 8 preschoolers. I believe the provider has the upper hand as long as policies are thoroughly discussed and consistently enforced.
