Hi guys,
I have a little girl who will be starting in January. But I needed the spot filled I September. I gave the mom the option to pay from September to January (my full fee because I wouldn't be able to save it for her any other way, even just having her pay a holding fee) so she and her husband talked about it and they really want to use me and are willing to pay from September to January when the daughter starts full time. They will bring her maybe one or two days a week from September to January but no more than that. So it's not really a holding fee, they're paying for a full time spot but are choosing not to use it every day.
Does anyone have experience with something like this. I have used the holding fee before but for me that's 15$ a week and no biggie. But this will be 600$ a month. What are some issues, rules, ideas I should keep in mind. Does anyone have a template form explaining something like this. I don't want that money to be transferable to any other time, nor do I want to have to give it back if they decide to go else where. But what if I decided to close or something before January. Do I still have to give that money back?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
