Ok I have 2 sets of parents wanting special rates for their children.

1st set of parents do not want to bring their son to daycare for the summer and they don't want to pay for his spot when he's not in care. The Grandmother has off in the summer so DCB will go there so the parents can save money. I tried to find a SA to fill that spot just for the summer but have had no luck. So I feel that they should pay the full rate for their sons spot through the summer. Is that reasonable?

2nd set of parents. In September their son will start in a local preschool program. This Preschool program is Tues. Wed. Thurs. & Fri. for 2 1/2 hours each of those days. So DCB will be in my care all day Monday and for 6 hours each day for the rest of the week.

I charge a rate for each full time spot, not by hours in care. I want to be fair and would love to help each family but I can't hurt my family financially in the process. I am a level 1 licensed home daycare and my state only allows me 5 children preschool age and under. One of those spots is filled by my son so I have 4 paying spots. So anyway, I just wanted to talk it out and get some feed back with other providers. :-)
