Child care providers are professionals trying to earn an income just as you are. You child care tuition is the only source of income for most daycare professionals. However, there are many costs associated with operating a home daycare that your tuitions help to pay for. These expenses include special childcare insurance, professional development, healthy food, new toys and equipment, art supplies, office supplies, repairs and maintenence to the facility, learning materials and all of the other things that your child uses.
Your fees also pay for unconditional love and attention. Kisses and hugs, guidance and support. Your dollars pay for providing and maintaining a safe learning environment for your child. Your child's happiness will be evidence that your money has been well spent.
Most people work an average 40 hours a week. Home child care Providers work well over 60 hours a week. That does not include training, program preparation and planning time, bookkeeping, paper work, shopping and cleaning time. Many Providers spend hours after the daycare closes and on weekends preparing for your child's return to ensure your child will be safe and stimulated. I hope that this gives you a better idea of what your childcare dollars cover.
