Rates On Web Page?

[ABCDaycareMN]

Just wondering if you put your rates on your daycare's web page? Advantages/disadvantages to it? I originally was not going to but another thread got me thinking...

Really i wouldnt want to post mine, its just better for me to talk to someone in person about them

I post them on the website. Mine are on the little bit high side. I'd rather people not waste my time if they are only looking for cheap cheap. I still get plenty of calls/emails and they're people who are very interested.

How do you post them? Like by the week for each age category? how do you do part time?

I post mine on my website. I figure people can see my setup and policies on there and if they like those things and the price I want them to call, if not I'd rather they don't waste my time.

I post mine. Originally I did not. But, it has cut down on a lot of people only e-mailing or calling for the rates and I greatly value my time. I prefer for people to know the price upfront and then contact me if they are comfortable with it so I am not wasting my time talking to someone who will never pay the price I charge.

I post my weekly rate for full-time and my two part-time options.
