When we tell parents our rates and how we came up with it, most of them will say it's fair. But like I said it is on the pricier side (so we are targeting parents that have higher incomes)and if I were looking for childcare I would not be able to afford my own rates 
I'm also in the Bay Area. Guess childcare is getting more expensive than I realized. My best friend has a daycare in athertons the most expensive place in the U.S. To currently live and she only charges $375 a week for full time care.
Not doubting you, just shocked.
