Average Monthly Paycheck
The amount your center will get paid each month will vary depending on the number of meals & snacks you serve, and depending upon your enrollment. Child care centers offering drop-in care and serving 6 meals & snacks a day to 200+ children who come and go throughout the day can obviously expect to receive a much bigger check than those serving a smaller number of children.
However, let's make a few assumptions and show you how much you would be paid. Assume:
• You serve 60 children:
• 10 children are classified by income as Free
• 20 children are classified by income as Reduced
• 30 children don't classify as either, so they fall into the Base category
• Each is served a Breakfast, Lunch, and afternoon snack
• You're open each weekday and all 60 children attend every day.
In this scenario, you'd receive $2,952.36 each month - minus a 14% administration fee charged by Midwest.($413.33) leaving you with $2,539.03. Larger centers serving more low income children can see reimbursements as high as $10,000 per month.
How do you get started?
You must be a licensed center or working on getting licensed. We are always willing to work with centers that are just getting started. We can help with your questions on licensing, policies, procedures, center design and much more.
