I have decided to teach Parent Infant Massage Classes through our local children's program associated with the city's park and recreation dept. I have never taught classes before, only provided the service in a hospital setting. I need help determining the charge for the 4 session course and the facility usually splits the profit 50/50 or 60/40. What do you charge for your classes?
Thanks,
Heather
What is your class fee?

charging for classes
It depends on what your goal is. In a hospital setting, they may just allow you to have the space for little or no charge.
In some places I have seen instructors charge 30-85 dollars for a 3-4 session class.
Are you going to include the booklet & oil???
Handouts?
The hospital that I had a program at for several years would not let me be a part of their educational services, however I applied for a grant through the Hospitals Foundation and it paid for everything, and it ended up being a joint project. So they helped with the marketing, and I was allowed to set up a table at the childbirth ed classes, so parents could sign up on their way in.
I encourage you to make this a cooperative adventure. It may mean giving away a bit of your time at first. Remember this is a preventative program which helps create healthy bonds, and sale this to the hosptial in this respect.
Good luck!
