Hi All - new to the board. I am starting a before and aftercare business from my home this fall and I am working on pricing policies.
My initial thought was to have flat rate pricing - so fees are due whether your child is ill, absent, and this includes dates that school is closed for parent teacher conferences, etc. I wanted to simplify and also guarantee consistent income.
In addition, I'm offering full day, drop-in care for an additional fee, on snow days, parent teacher conf. days, breaks etc. Initial thought was to charge an additional per day fee, on top of the existing flat rate.
I'm getting parent feedback that this might not be the way to go, and I happen to agree on some level. Does anyone have an idea on how to clarify the policy? Should I have a per day price for each family? Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
