New Provider Vent

[Nurse Jackie]

What the heck. Rates are public information. What county are you in?? I can help you find the rates.

Riverside county

Youcould also search for a family home childcare providers association in your area. We have one here and it's a valuable resource. It's run by providers and they have a monthly meeting that counts towards training hours. They also send prospective clients back and forth to each other when one is full and another isn't.

Do I just google providers association

Do I just google providers association

or child care association or any other search terms you can think of maybe add your county to the search. Here we have something called 4C, but it comes up if you google around.

Trying to post info from phone. Sorry

From what I can see it say 36$ a day. That is the highest rate that government will pay for your area.

If you have a preschool program I would go for that highest rate. If you are a baby sitting service I would lower it a few dollars a day.

When starting out new you may find you need to offer competive rates and each year have a annual price increase.

Hope this Helps

Congrats. Sounds like your well on your way. Also if you can start taking ECE classes. The state is going to be enforcing a new program in a few years that will require more education on our part.

Good luck. Stay on this site and you will do great

Honestly parents are the hardest thing to conquer for most

All I can say is stand your ground be firm and accept you can't and wont please everyone.

Always due what is best for your business over all not just one family.

Learn quick come back lines for the parents like when they ask can you open 2 hours early or stay an hour later. You respond with let me get back to you on that. Then you have time to think if you really want to do it or not and if not have time to figure out how to professionally say sorry that is not a service I can provide.

Building a backbone takes time and patience. If I can do it anyone can.

In my state the DHS site publishes the rate information if they take state pay. That could be of help.
