Reply To: Day camps ; BP vs. Flatbush – price, hours & program

i made a number of calls and one kind administrator explained the cause for the price diff. with these few points;
1.all DC in bp are run as an extension of the school by the school and as a service primarily to the parent body.
2. the goal is to break even and cover the cost of their drivers , office staff, cleaning crew…yes addl staff get pd but they are not top heavy.
3. no rent the school does not charge its own dc rent its basicly the same entity
4. a big one ; they all own their BUSES so transp. is way down.
5.in flatbush its about 7200 for 4 kids not 9000 as i posted bp is about 1000-1400 a kid
6. programming, trips…& salaries are basicly the same but there is no director salary aside from the very big places
7. more eligible lunch program
as a frustrated parent i understand its time we learn something from bp
