I definitely wasn't going to fight it but it just seemed strange to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336270 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:43:13 +0000 Sparkler 1336270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same, by age not by room! We actually had the opposite experience as we had a price reduction at 15 months but my LO didn't move until 18 months due to space ( our daycare has more infant than toddler slots). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336258 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:39:27 +0000 littlek 1336258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: ours is by age not classroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336257 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:39:17 +0000 bhbee 1336257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, it's about the teacher ratio so age makes no sense to me. ours switches when they switch rooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336254 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:38:37 +0000 hellobeeboston 1336254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is like this - price changes at the age, not the room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336251 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:38:04 +0000 MamaMoose 1336251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Ours only went down $60/month. That's why it wasn't worth fighting over for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336249 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:37:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1336249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours has a caveat that all children in that room must be of the age. Basically the price goes down when they can reduce the ratio of staff. If there is still a young one hanging in the room, they can't reduce the ratio so they don't reduce the rates yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336248 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:36:47 +0000 MamaMoose 1336248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was how ours worked. Our tuition changed when she reached 12 months, not when she moved to the toddler room. I was annoyed but it wasn't worth fighting over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336241 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:35:17 +0000 yoursilverlining 1336241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours lowered when she switched rooms (so, not based on age). That seems weird to me because part of the reason the infant room is more expensive is because the baby:teacher ratio is lower; right?</p> <p>Ours only went down a little less than $100/month :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-room-to-toddler-room-price-change#post-1336232 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:30:09 +0000 Mommy Finger 1336232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS just started in the toddler room at daycare this week and has been doing extremely well! I was worried about his naps but they have gotten so much better since everyone naps at the same time. </p> <p>I think our daycare is similar to most where it's a sliding scare of cost per week depending on the room they're in. Therefore, the toddler room is less than the infant room. However, I checked my bank account as they just pull from my account each week and noted that I'm still being charged the higher rate. I emailed the director to ask about this and was told that tuition is charged based on the child's age. So the new rate won't kick in for another month when he's 15 months. Does this seem strange to anyone or is this normal practice? </p>
