I have been doing a different version of the tiered rates for 20 years. My "business hours" are 7:30 - 5:30 but because I emphasize that parents have control over their costs, I actually only work from 8 - 4:30 right now.

If someone wants to enroll with longer hours but within my business hours, I just decide whether it is worth it to me. Sometimes I explain that I have no other children during those extended hours and they *offer to pay more.
