Just curious as to what the figure is for other providers for their time/space, this is my first full year, so I'm curious to see how many others are right around the same percent as I am.....
Other Providers T/S%

I am at 17%, but to me, this seems low..Everyroom of my house is used in one way or another, and even though I only am doing this PT this yr, I was doing it FT last yr, so it seems to me this number should be higher, but I too am interested in seeing what others have to say.
ETA: Are u using MMK? What is it telling you currently?- Flag

I am at 35%- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.- Flag

Im figuring 30% for the entire year using 100% space. It just seemed low for using my home everyday, for 10.5 hrs a day, 5 days a week. But it seems right on target with the others providers that have posted.
And No I don't use MMK, I use the Calendar Keeper and it seems like it is just as simple-just using pen & paper rather than spending $62 per yr for MMK....- Flag

My time/space in 2010 came out to 19.7%, but there is about 700 sq ft of my house I don't use for daycare; and there were two months last year that I did not have any children.
17% sounds low for doing it full time all year and using your entire house!
I'm using MMK for the first time this year and right now it tells me it's 13.72%; but for some reason it's not using the hours I've entered for Feb yet.- Flag

Lego, I use MMK Pro.
Mine is calculated by
1. Actual hours in care from attendance records (averages 9.75 hours a day)
2. Prior to opening meal prep time M-F (.5 hours),
3. End of day cleaning time M-T (.5 hours)
4. End of week cleaning time/laundry/floors/toy rotation/disinfection, Fri. only (1.5 hours)
5. 100% usage area of 900 sq ft.
6. Partial usage rooms that I am required to maintain to State standards at all times.(foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, storage shed, etc)
I have been tempted to also charge for my bedrooms since I am required to let the State in them at all times even though they are not used for childcare.
7. Actual training hours for all the online classes I take and conferences/super Saturdays I attend. I don't charge for all of them because I just like to go and take WAY more than I am required to.
(I am supposed to be able to add travel time for supplies, but I don't since I chose to live so far out and am nervous to ask for more than I feel I deserve....Karma, I guess, IDK....)

And yes, I do get FT pay for my PT kids. Everyone pays the same daily rate weather they are here for 3hrs, or 10.
I won't have to worry about paying any tax at all according to Tom, so I'm happy- Flag

I had 40% for last year, and this year so far in MMK I am at 43%. I think alot of people just don't record everything, you can even record the time you spend unloading groceries, (learned this in toms seminar), Folding blankets or bedding for daycare, I clean pretty obsessively everyday, I always wash all the toys played with everyday, and I vacuum and clean all of my floors everyday. My first child starts at 6am, and last one leaves at 5:45....- Flag
