It is a really good idea. Be sure to let us know how it goes when you get to it.

They do charge the parents. I am not 100% sure if they actually have to pay the staff, or if the staff offers their time to help out with the fundraising. I know the providers have mentioned they make dinner for the kids, plan some fun activities, play, and watch a movie and have some popcorn. The feedback from their parents was great. I plan to do this sometime this year and see how it works out 🙂 I know one provider even offered Black Friday care for her parents. Most others offer it for a Friday or Saturday night.

Interesting. How does the program raise money if they offer a parent\’s night? Do they charge for the service? Does it pay if you have to then pay staff to watch the children. This sounds like a great idea, I would love to hear the details.

They have had good success with this. I have also done Avon Fundraisers and I have also done a Little Ceasar\’s Fundraiser (did great with this one). I was selling Avon at the time, so it went pretty well, but not great.

I love that this fundraising effort included all members of the families. Often, we see fundraising in isolation from the children. Good tip abut the Chuck E. Cheese opportunity.

We earned 15% profit on everything sold except gift cards. It was a nice profit check. It was also fun for staff from our school to enjoy playing with the students and families at Chuck E Cheese.

You are so right about us having to fundraise. My clients are awesome when it comes to fundraising for Ms Vee\’s Christian Daycare Inc. we have sold cookie dough and cheesecakes. But recently in November i was introduced to a new fundraiser well new to me, The Carson Community Day fundraiser. This fundraiser is 100% profit they ask for nothing in return to you selling thier coupon books for $5.00 to your patrons and in the book is $400 of saving and more. And guess what the patron get a $10.00 off coupon on anything in store ten dollars or more, you are given two days to enjoy these savings. I just signed up again for the next Community days which are 3/1/13 and 3/2/13. If you are one of the top sellers like we was you get a check in the mail from them for participating. So call your nearset Carson Pirie Scott now to find out more or call me to purchaase a coupon book. LOL
