I'm all for giving out rates as well. I would hate to waste anyone's time if they couldn't afford my care. And waste my time explaining policies to someone who would never enroll. I think what OP was trying to convey was the way that the parent asked about it was rude. I would have replayed to the first email something like "I would be happy to discuss rates but my rates are different for everyone and based on a number of different factors. To give you an accurate quote could you please tell me the age of the child in question, how many days a week care is needed an an approximate time frame?"
