When I made new rate sheets up I totally stole BC's format too... it was just so much prettier, even though I decided not to do the separate pick up times.

My rate is based on up to a 9 hour day with a pick up time by 4:30. So 9:30-4:30 pays the same as 7:30-4:30. I've never had anyone who would drop off at 7:30am but not go to work till 9am so I have never had an issue with it. My pick up time is early enough that I don't care what a parent is doing as long as they are here by that time. When I used to go till 5 or 5:30 it would really bug me that parents got out of work at 4 and would show up at 5:35. I will still go up to 5pm but they pay a decent amount for it so no one does it if they really don't need it (and honestly, I often turn them away for that reason if I have the option of picking a 4:30 family instead).
