5 full-time kids. All here from 630a-6p m-f
When my 2 part timers come twice a week its same hrs

Wow, that's a long day for you & the kids. Are all the parents working far from your home or in professions where they work 10 hr days? Just curious. . . .I know I could never provide care for that long of a period. I'd get burned out.

1 daycare kid 9.5 hrs 7-4:30. I am being very picky about hours and that's why I only have one kid now. I'm actually holding 2 far off spots now just for the wonderful hours.

No more than 10hrs a day. Most of the kids are around 8-9hrs/day. I only have 1 PT family that is here T/TH and they use the whole 10hrs.

My own 2 & 3 yr olds count in my numbers - so all day.
5 yr old and 8 yr old - M-F 10 hrs/day
6 yr old - M-F 3 hrs/day; non-school days up to 7 hrs.
6 yr old - W-F up to 9 hrs/day
6 yr old & 7 yr old - 3.5 hrs/day; non-school days up to 10-11 hrs.

Generally, my limit is 10 hrs per day.
