Never again!
I sometimes do a late night for parents. I decided to do one tonight. Four kids signed up. A brother and sister who are in my daycare now and a brother and sister who used to be with me, but Mom is a SAH mom now. It's her birthday and they are going out to dinner.
I got a call from a couple who are in town visiting from CA. They heard of me through a friend of a friend. As I already had 4 kids, I figured I would take 2 more. I am used to 16 every day, so 6 didn't seem bad at all..right??....
The drop-in's are OUTTA CONTROL!!!!! The boy (5) is Sid from Toy Story....no kidding. His sister (3) is Sid-In-Training..........just another hour........won't be doing this again!!!

Wow you are brave for even trying this. I do take drop ins but only kids that I already know. I would never take random kids.

Yes, I charge. We have pizza and movies...basically a slumber party until midnight. They usually fall asleep around 9PM. lmao you made me laugh so hard.

We have PNO once a month.
Full time is free. PT charge $10
It's mostly free, but I really enjoy it. It's fun to have a PJ party and just not do anything at all
I teach preschool, so we are always on the move.

I love doing evening & weekend care. I do only provide services for kids enrolled in my daycare at this time. However, I’ve been receiving a lot of referrals. I was considering enrolling a child for occasional PNO until this thread.
Meeko, thank you for waking up my common sense.

Late night is 6PM to midnight. I charge my flat daily daycare rate. But am only really "working" for 3 hours. They lie down to a movie at 9PM and asleep very quickly. Parents pay for the convenience of it being a Friday night. Most times, all kids are gone by 10-11 ish!I would like to do this but how much do you charge??
TwinKristi 04:55 PM 01-19-2014
I've been considering a PNO too actually! But I would charge $20 per kid for 5:30-10pm and do pizza and a movie as well. If I could get 5 kids that would be $100 and $10 in pizza!
