    I am open from 7:30 to 4:30, but ONLY take teacher's children so these hours work for me.

    If you decide to open 2 hours earlier I would charge a premium price for it.

    I wouldn't open that early unless I desperately needed the money.

        I have a tread on this also..didn't know if she shld charge extra or give an extra hr for one of my families....

        I decided to change my hrs to 6am to 5pm. Most of my families are gone by 3:30pm but I have one family who has a hard time making it here til 5pm on tues. so we switched her those days to 7am to 5pm to keep her to on 10 hr days. Which before we contracted 9 hrs. I am not charging anything extra for 10 hr days but after 10 hrs I start charging a$5 late fee every hr. I try to keep track of the hrs during the week and if she is early during the week then her contracted hrs then I give her a break and waive the late fee.

          My hours are 7:00 to 5:15 p.m. but I will not complain about 5:30 pickups because it's usually traffic related and affects most of my parents. If someone wants earlier drop off I will charge an extra $5.00 per child but no earlier than 6:45. I have been doing this for over 20 years and find if I'm not strict then people WILL take advantage!
