      Please read the following answer to one of the most pressing questions parents have - where do your child care dollars go? In our child care, you pay per "position", which means that the position is held just for your child and is not based on attendance.

      Why? And what does this include?

• Unconditional love nurturing of your child (priceless).
• Dependability, always available when you arrive.
• Family environment, small ratio, family atmosphere, pets etc.
• Craft supplies: crayons, tape, scissors, glue, paint, markers, paper, pipe cleaners, etc.
• Daily verbal reports on how your child is doing, what they ate, things learned etc.
• Nutritious meals snacks (and you know the price of groceries nowadays).
• Treats: pizza, candy, and other things not included on a regular basis.
• Toys, games, puzzles, books, chalkboards, movies, sand tables, upkeep of outdoor play equipment, riding toys, cribs, bedding, changing table.
• Training for provider & assistants, CPR, nutrition classes, safety classes, etc.
• Birthday & Christmas party supplies & gifts, as well as parties for other holidays
• An extra dishwasher load for daily sanitation of toys, extra dishes, etc.
• An extra load in the washer/dryer for bedding for the children.
• Utilities: electricity, gas, water, cable, phone, garbage etc.
• Vehicle: gas, wear & tear, tires, oil etc to provide field trip transportation
• Furniture wear & tear, cleaning, replacing, repairing rips & tears etc.
• Cleaning supplies for floors, dishes, laundry, toys, furniture, vacuum bag, etc. And the list goes on........
• Do you pay for a whole month of cable-even if you only watch it 24 days a month?
• Do you pay full price for your VCR if you only use it twice a week?
• Do you pay full price for your meal even if you don’t finish it?
• Do you pay the same rent/mortgage even when you are at work 5 days a week?

When payday comes & it is time to pay your provider, take a few minutes to assess in your own mind where each dollar is going, even if it includes the days your child was absent. Remember if it weren’t for child care, many parents would not be receiving their paycheck. And in closing, please remember this:

 

Please be considerate, please be kind. Please remember to pay us on time. This is a real job, we have bills that are due when we get paid late our bills are late too. To defray the charges that we may accrue a $5.00/day late charge will be passed on to you. When it comes to your children we are caring, thoughtful, helpful & true. We just ask for the same respect and consideration from you.
