I base my rates off of what I feel works for me. I pay no attention to what other area providers charge. I understand that it is a competitive business but I like to attract clients who search for child care based on quality not cost.
I do the same here. I try not to worry about what others are charging. I am full and have a waiting list as well. I charge a little higher than average.
