all of your advice is good, however, I feel it is very different for a home provider than a center. When a home provider only has so much income, it is not wise to piss the parents off. It is a very fine line and we have a great deal of church centers opening in our area right now. Most home providers that I know are struggling right now for kids. As soon as the kids turn 2, alot of parents move them to a center because they can then drop their kids off at 6:00 a.m. and not pick up till 6 or 7 p.m. I have my own family, and am not willing to sacrifice my evenings of going to my childrens sports events to stay open later. The parents I do have usually have one parent drop off and the other picks up.
