What Hours Do You Consider Half Day?

100% agree. I would only be offering a part-time preschool program because sadly it does not work for me to offer a full day. That said I am still hoping to earn as close to a full time salary so I like your break down of when you do take part time!!!!! Thanks so much for your insights!
A half day is anything UNDER 6 hours (I don't put restrictions on times). Anything from 6-10 hours gets a different price. And I have one family that is over 10 hours so they pay an even higher price.
I serve whatever meal the child is here for no matter if they are full or part time.
I offer half days in two blocks of time.
AM block is 7-11 and PM block is 2-5
ANY care that includes lunch and rest/nap time is a full day as those are the hardest/most chaotic hours of the day.
I charge about 2/3rds my daily rate for half days otherwise it's just not worth my time.
Half days are only available to regularly enrolled families.
Due to other obligations in the afternoon both to my own dd and to my own studies to advance myself in ECE I will not be open past 3PM so I am only offering one preschool block.
When you say half days are only offered to regularly enrolled families does that mean they can be "regularly enrolled" as part time or what exactly does that mean? At my dd's preschool they did drop-in days for kids enrolled part time already (and not to the public) is that kind of what you mean?- Flag

I do have 1 family that attends 2 days a week and I do offer them the option of using a half day when they want but it's usually ONLY after they've used or paid for their obligatory 2 days per week. They were more or less grandfathered in years ago and it's worked so we just leave it alone.
Most my families are 4 days a week Those families have the option of using a half day here and there when they want to.- Flag

Regularly enrolled for me means a family enrolled here 3 or more days per week. Less than 3 days is drop in.
