    Post: Setting up Home Day Care Questions

    Posted by newbie on 11/11/08

    Hi. My husband and I have decided to open a home day care
    and have started our area's classes for being licensed. I
    have many years experience in early childhood ed. I was
    wondering for those of you who have more of a pre school
    element to your programs if you could answer some of my
    questions?

    1) How do you base your tuition for families? Do you figure
    a cost over a nine month period and then factor in the
    holidays into that cost and charge families the same amount
    per month whether the child is there every day or not?

    2)How many breaks do you take each year? Sounds like some
    of you take a two week break around the holidays. That
    makes sense. Then in December do you half your payment?

    2)Are there other times that you close during the year? I
    was thinking the week over the 4th of July or/and maybe the
    first two weeks of August due to the last minute summer
    trips many families take before the start of school for
    their older children.

    3)Do you have parents sign a contract for a set amount of
    time, figure the cost for the entire school year, and
    divide that into monthly payments?

    4)I was thinking of having two cycles of contracts: June-
    July, or mid August to May or that could be extended into
    June-July if needed.

    Thank you for any input. We just decided to do this this
    week so a lot of things are going through my mind.
