I received a call from the mom of a 3 yo boy who goes to preschool 5 mornings a week. Would you charge fulltime? I usually do but I've never had any that went 5 mornings, it's usually 3-4. I need to talk with her further tonight when I have time. Kids were in the middle of painting when she called today.

When we had 1/2 day kindergarten they paid f/t rate
If a child will take up a f/t spot I charge a f/t rate. 100
The other choice is p/t 3 set days a week. 75
or hourly drop in at $5 hour minimum 2 hours
if I have an opening that day I will fill it with a f/t if they call.It:: will wait

I would normally charge full time. I do tell prospective families that if they know of someone who can fill the days/times they don't use & they are a good fit, I will allow a part time rate. So far no one has been able or willing to find another family though.

I also would charge full time rate. You wouldn't be able to find someone that just needed a few hours in the morning and I'm sure if school is canceled for any reason, they would want to make sure they could send him to dc during that time.

School, but especially preschools have a LOT of time off, which is one of the reasons I've never discounted for preschool. I usually wind up having the kids way more then expected between teacher inservice days, snow days, holidays, etc.

I only offer full day rates.
If a parent enrolls their child somewhere else for part of the day, the loss is theirs NOT mine.
I understand why some places offer discounts or lower rates, but I got tired of dealing with everyone else's schedules and appts so now I offer a daily rate only and let each family deal with their own individual circumstances.
