What Would You Charge For Half Day?

[cherryhill]

I have only had full time or all day care. I guess I would charge 50.00 all day, would I just charge half of that or an hourly rate?

Thanks

I charge daily for part time and hourly for partial days. I charge $6 per hour for drop in which is what I consider partial days.

What is your daily rate?

[juliebug]

i don't offer that but if i did i would make it a little more then half. so maybe $30 for half days or under 4 hours!

What is your daily rate?

My highest daily rate is $37 per day for a part time child. My full time daily rate is $32.

Look at it this way. What is the price difference if you buy a 10 oz bottle of shampoo or a 20 oz bottle of the same shampoo. Huge difference. I charge about 65% or more for half a day or part time. It's not worth the extra money to take less.

No way not in Cali. I would charge at least $30.00 for half day.
Half day to what time ? Will they eat lunch?

They would still be taking up a slot that you cannot sell so I don't recommend taking anything less than full pay.

That is a bumpy road to start down....IMHO.

Wow! I would be rich if I could charge what some of you do! I am average for around here and it's $20 for a full day!.....

Me Three! Very average at $23/day. I don't do half days at all either.

OMG I only get $10 for under 4 hours, $5 for under 2 hours. So basically I work for a max of $2.50 per hour. Full day up to 12 hrs I get $20 for toddlers. BUT of course again mine are all state paid so I get what they give and that's it. I am permitted to charge for late pick up fees now so I charge $5 per hour. I should up it. IF permiited to.

Man I wish I could charge Cali rates and pay Texas prices!

My half day rate is $15 for less than 5 hours of care.

Full time is $30 a day and I'm at the top of the range for home daycare!

I would love to pay Texas prices.... gas here in Northern cali is $4.39 a gallon for 87

milk $4.19 for 2%....


I think in the end it all turns out about the same when you take cost of living into consideration
