I'm just now (September) changing my hours and rate structure & I'm so excited!

I was 7:30-5:30 and maxed families at 9 hours a day. But I hated that they were all letting the kids sleep in and coming at 8:30 so they could leave the kids here until closing. Even though they first enrolled with the "needed" hours of 7:45-4:30.

I changed to a graduated rate scale with rates increasing every 15 minutes from 4-5:15 and I now close at 5:15.

Most of the time my families are now gone by 4:45-5:00 and I can spend more time with my kids & dinner is not rushed!

I also stopped taking infants 2 years ago and only enroll 12 months-4 years. Love it that way!
