Hi! My name is Beth. I am new here and have a question I need help with asap!
I have a lady coming over who needs pt care, 5 days a week, for her 5 school age children. I have looked around the area and it looks like alot of daycares charge $100 & up for school age. I have seen others say they charge $20 - $25 a day for school age. I know I need to do some sort of discount. The question is, how much of a discount. How should I charge her? I dont want to charge to much so she cant afford it, but i dont want to charge too little either. please advise! thanks!

I charge 45 a week, but thats for one child. This is what i do. I call around and find the cheapest price.....then knock off 5 or 10 dollars. It may not seem fair. But you also have factor in the # of children you have now and what happens if , say CPS walks in and you have to many children, you may even have to hire in help.
