After using the daycare cash discount program savings estimator, you likely want to learn more. Once you learn about cash discount programs for daycares, it almost sounds too good to be true. There is some great news, it isn’t too good to be true. Within the Frank-Dodd Act was the Durbin Amendment which makes cash discounting 100% legal in all 50 states.
Many people that reach out to us have several questions about daycare cash discount programs which we’ll do our best at answering specifically on cash discount programs for childcare centers or daycares.
The first reason cash discount programs for daycares are popular is because of the profitability gains. Inflation has increased considerably in the last few years. As a result, the cost of labor has gone up along with the cost of goods. It would be unreasonable for business owners to not increase their pricing nor try to cover high fees where possible. If your daycare hasn’t increased pricing, implementing a cash discount program is a great way to cover some costs without being seen as “greedy” by increasing pricing across the board.
The second reason is marketing. Offering a cash discount program is a great way to distinguish yourself from the competition. In such a competitive environment, highlighting the fact that you offer cash discounts can really set you apart. For facilities that are at capacity – your current parents will enjoy the fact that you are giving them the option to save some money each month.
The third reason you no longer need to worry about Visa, MC, or AMEX increasing their rates which isn’t the best of surprises after such a tumultuous last few years.
In short, some daycares are seeing savings in the $3k to $5k a month range depending on their enrollment numbers. This is a significant amount of money and it is new revenue without increasing prices across the board.

Daycare cash discount program processing works just like your current credit card processing. Many daycares have chosen to implement a cash discount program for daycares because they didn’t want to necessarily increase their rates yet just cover some of the high costs associated with processing credit cards.
As you likely do, most daycares will usually charge weekly or bi-weekly. The only difference is there will be a cash discount applied to parents who choose to pay with cash. This makes $0.00 difference to your business as if they used an American Express previously and charged $250.00, your card processing fees would be around 3 to 3.5% on average. Let’s look at the math more closely.
The net deposit in your account would be $250.00 minus the card processing fees, so you are passing the card processing savings directly to your customer. At 3.5%, your customer would save $8.75. Therefore, with EliminateCardFees.com, your terminal would offer your customer a cash discount rate of $241.25. If they paid with a card, this is roughly the net amount that would enter your bank account.
If your customer elects to pay with a credit card, the terminal displays the non-cash adjustment rate and will display an increase of $8.75 to the $250.00. So the charge would be $258.75. After your merchant fees, you would receive $250.00 as the customer has elected to cover the non-cash adjustment rate.
