I know many of you have tiered tuition based on pick up times. I have been trying to move over to this tuition model but have run into some interesting questions from parents. My question is, how do you explain to parents that it is based on pick up time vs total hours in care?

For example:

Pick up time of 4:00 - $120/week
4:30 - $125/week
5:00 - $130/week

What happens if child A is here from 7am to 4:30 and pays $125 per week for a total of 9.5 hours per day.

Child B is here from 9:00am to 5:00pm and pays $130 per week for a total of 8 hours per day.

How do you explain that child B is here fewer hours per day but pays more per week than child A?
