4. Once you have the pricing complete, you will click the save button. Then you will see your program you just created in the list of programs.

Please Note: Schedule- days and time that that program is open. Most of the time this is your hours of operation.

Max use restrictions- This feature you can set a maximum number of hours per day or week a child can be in your care. If you have a maximum amount of hours, you would like children to be at your center a day or week. You should fill this in. If you have this set, and a child is over the amount you have set, they will be charged. 

Discount on  hourly- You should check this if you have visits that would likely be over your max usage. Families would get a discount on overage charges. 

Price- If you bill based on the number of days and the age of the child, you should check these boxes. 

Billing cycle- You should select if you bill daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
