M.S.
I have an in home daycare and was a preschool teacher for a large Daycare several years ago. I think the big daycares charge more, however, I charge $40.00 per day for part time or full time. If you mean partial days (less than 5 hours), then I usually charge $30.00 for the short days. I have a contract, which is very flexible and fair and it outlines everything you would want to know. Congrats on your new arrival. If you would like to talk further, you can reach me at my email address: ____@____.com home business is also listed on mamasource as Mary's Little Lambs Family Daycare if you want to read about it. Hope this helps.
