Thank you for all of the responses. I guess what I'd like to start with is rates. I live in Minnesota. Anoka county. I have done my research on rates. I currently charge $200 a week for infants. The average for in home providers in $159 a week and centers is $279 a week. It is important to note that Anoka county has the lowest rates of almost all the counties in the metro area. So I am not afraid to go above. In order to make the kind of money I need to make, I would need to charge $300 a week for infants. This is in line with what the CENTER average is across the metro area. I would have to charge center rates as an in home provider. Can I do that, is my question. I see soooo many advantages of my setup over centers. a 1:4 or 1:3 ratio! Infant and toddler specific everything! Infant spaces are in high demand here. I really think I can fill the spaces no problem. I would love any feedback.
Gracias
