Hi! I'm trying to start a small daycare of only 3 kids. And I am trying to create my rates but I'm afraid I may be selling myself short or over charging. I called the local centers to get their rates and I went lower. Originally I was charging $135 for nb - 18mo and $125 for 18mo-3 And $115 for 3-6 and I did a $10 off sibling discount. I advertised for a month and so far I still don't have any dck. I wasn't accepting part time because I can only have 3. I am listed through my state so I am limited. I don't have any certifications YET. I'm saving to get them.
I do offer a curriculum I will get through carols affordable curriculum. So I'm wanting to make sure my rates cover that. I live in the country outside of a big city. So the prices for care aren't that's much. Any help would be appreciated. Also I've watched children since I was 15 and I am now 28. So I am very experienced. My home is child proofed. I have a contract, handbook. Crafting supplies.
