I am raising my rates in January similar to Cat's--$10/week. It's to cover the newly-added preschool curriculum as well as some MAJOR daycare improvements I want, including, but not limited to: BIG sandbox and sand, smartphone and data plan for photos and texting, awesome mirrors for the playroom, those squishy infant crawling/climbing thingys from Lakeshore, and stuff like that. Plus, it'll cover my vacations which are going to unpaid in January...but I'm not making a big deal of that.
