I thought I recently read on here somewhere that you had to charge everyone the same rate unless they had longer hours or something. I can't remember where I read it or if I might have imagined it.

I have long planned to raise my rates for the new family I hope to get when a spot opens up when school starts. I was going to raise the rates on the other 2 families when their contract renews in Sept and January. By the end of January, all 3 families would be paying the new rate.

Now, the January family will be leaving a couple of weeks after their contract date when the child turns 3 and leaves ECI for the special school program. Because of some extenuating circumstances, I have decided not to raise the rates of the September renewal family. This leaves the new family. Can I still charge them the new rate and leave everyone else grandfathered in at the old rate, assuming that the hours are basically the same? I'm particularly concerned because this would be a special needs child, and I don't want them to think it is because of their child's needs but instead is something I plan to do for anyone who takes that spot.
