Posted by Pam B. on 5/08/08 Since I spoke to you last, I've been through my licensing requirements and ready to start my preschool in August. I do have a few questions to ask if you don't mind: 1. What are your rates for a 3 hour program? 2. What hours do you advertise for? 3. Do you have any enrolled that eat a meal/snack or take a nap there? 4. What hours are your morning and afternoon classes? 5. Do you combine your your ages in each session? 6. How much do you charge per session? Sorry, to ask so many Q's, but wanting to find out how to market this. Thank you for any advice you have. Pam B. On 3/31/08, pktchr wrote: > On 3/31/08, Pam Baker wrote: >> This is to pktchr.
