When I started I was open 7:15-6:30 it I had about 3 days a week parents used the full hours. I got burnt out very very fast. Since then I cut back to 7:30-5:00 although I have one family who sometimes needs care till 5:10 (they are very close family friends so it works out) but in the same breath the majority of my little ones are gone by 4:15-4:30
So my last half hour to an hour I usually only have 1-2 kids. I would love to do 7:30-4:30 but I just don't think it's possible for my area.
