I only do full time as a flat weekly rate for up to 50 hours and my part time is a flat rate per day for up to 10 hours each day, with a minimum of 2 set days a week. I can only have 6 kids (5 plus 1 who is my ds) so I don't do part time half days or anything like that.
P/t is 3 set days. I charge enough more for p/t that if they come 4 days it cost the same as f/t so normally the 5th day is theirs unless I tell them I have no room that day.
f/t is 4 to 5 days
drop in is hourly or for 1 day at a much higher rate than p/t
I consider part time up to 20 hours per week and I have a minimum that is 65% of my full time minimum for part time kids. Anything after 20 hours, they pay for a full time slot. I only have one part time kid, never here on Fridays, and it works out nicely. He DOES take up a full-time slot because of his hours, but I love the kid AND the hours of his care, so I decided to take him based on that.
