THEN I found out a local center, which happens to own 2 big centers in our small community, charge $200 a week. That's a huge difference from what all the in-home providers are charging. I think we're getting the short end of the deal.

Same with me, Im about $20-$30 lower than others nearby and I offer much more than them. Lesson learned I know I sold myself short now

. Im going to do the $5 increments every quarter. Thanks for responding!
