Thanks Jodi

Honestly, then? Its ridiculously overpriced.

Like I said in my previous post - anything over 30mins for under school aged children is a waste of time, they have NO attention span.

If your children ARE school aged....Even this length of time is crazily priced when your children have to share it with others in a class situation.... they could be having private tuition for the same price (or less, as I said, my fees are more expensive than most and these are my prices for private tuition).

I appreciate that there are books/cds etc... FWIW, my students get all of that from me either free or at an extremely minimal price.

When I was in my busiest time with early childhood classes, I was going into preschools etc doing them - worked out to be about $5 per child (max 15 children, and that included having 2 other pre school teachers there to help keep kids under control)

The $75 (roughly) was what I got per class... out of that, I gave out music, books, and it covered the room I hired at each preschool and the use of 2 of their teachers for the 30-40mins I ran the class for..... my prices with what other teachers I knew doing the same thing were fairly standard....

ETA - PLEASE don't take offence personally to anything I've written - every parent chooses what they wish for their children, and I'm by NO WAY having a go at anyone for parenting choices etc.... please remember this is only my PROFESSIONAL opinion - thanks guys
