I just interviewed a client last night for an August spot when the kindergartners move on. I pitched her my new rate, which is $25 higher than my old rate, and she is taking the spot. So now that I have three kids turning over, I will be filling their spots with higher rate kiddos. Same thing with three kids in August of 2016.

Another great way to give yourself a raise is to step back and evaluate how you are running your business. Eliminating part time gaps and sibling discounts, starting the food program if you aren't already on it, and maximizing your capacity are all ways to find money without raising tuition.
