Key Steps to Setting Your Rates
Focus on these four steps to create fair, sustainable, and transparent rates for your child care program.
Add up your monthly expenses—food, supplies, utilities, and your desired income—to set a strong financial foundation.
Look at what similar programs in your area charge to make sure your rates are competitive and realistic.
Decide whether you’ll charge by the hour, day, or week. Flexible options can meet different family needs and help fill open spots.
Put your payment, attendance, and holiday rules in writing. Clear contracts build trust and prevent misunderstandings.
