As a daycare provider I would charge the 9 hour day rate (whatever yours is, which depends on what you're offering to provide & experience) for 3 children, 3 days per week.

For example: daily rate of $30 x 3 children x 3 days = $270.00.

I agree with Donna completely about charging your full daily rate. I gave a family with 2 children a sibling discount once and regretted it so much because it still cost me the same amount for food, craft supplies, etc. as it would for 2 children. I'll never do it again. It didn't help that it wasn't a family who appreciated me at all. You tend to feel sorry for the family because they have to pay out full price for care for their children, but hopefully they can afford to pay for quality childcare for their children and cut costs in other parts of their lives.

I would charge full day rate per child. So, with me it would be $30.00 per child per day.
