That's ridiculous. This person would have to take many kids in order to make any money. I wonder if the daycare would then charge extra for food expenses, etc?

That's so sketchy. I think any parent would look at that and have to know that there would not be a great quality of care for that amount of money. You can't feed the children and do any extra activities for that!

At first I though "what's wrong with that?" but then went back and realized that's the MONTHLY price. Omg! That's about 45-65 cents an hour. They'd have to take on seventeen kids just for one person to make 8 bucks an hour.

Yeah, no thanks.

I had to read it a second time too. I thought it was weekly, and thought, wait, what is so wrong with that price?! Ha.

Wait, she charges $40 per week for AFTER school, but only $25 for toddlers and what amounts to only $10 per week for full time SAs in the summer?

Wow, great job on the math with that one

Maybe the author made a typo, and truly intends on charging $150 per WEEK and not per month. I would be too tempted to contact the person and inquire.

It's crazy but she actually put monthly and I thought the same thing with the other prices...who knows how many kids she will have unless she just needs an extra $300 a month or something and plans to go over the unlisenced number of children limit, etc...or is on assitance and cant make over a certain amount, who knows? the sad thing is someone will take her up on that offer

Yeah I posted about a week ago for an ad I found where the lady was only charging $10 per week for preschoolers. Amazing!
