I charge $5 more/day for part-time but do any of you charge more for temp care (2 months, etc)? Or do you keep the rate the same?

I not charge more but if someone leave in less than year, their enrollment fee not credited to final week of care. I seek long term client specifically and clear about this. I just took a 3 month child and their enrollment fee of one week's fees will be kept by me which in contract.
Yes 5$ more
no I don't charge a higher weekly tuition fee. However their one time enrollment fee of $500 doesn't go towards their care, but to guarantee I will not replace them with a long term family.
However I can terminate for lack of payment, breach of policies etc.
I keep the rate the same as it just helps me find the long term client in the two months and still get paid while looking:)
What if your week of paid holidays fell during the 2 months they were in your care.... Would your still require them to pay?
I don't. Short term clients don't pay my holidays just the long term
Yes I charge more for temporary care, especially if it falls in the "under 2 years category"
Whoever is in my care at the time of my holidays will pay for them.
I'm not sure I understand this correctly. So do you charge a non-refundable fee of $500 that can not be applied to childcare at any time? So like an insurance premium of sorts to assure the parents that they won't get screwed over by you??Quote:

I have been doing it this way for the last 2 yrs. mainly specializing in temporary care. One of the many reasons my clients choose me is that I have this guarantee and yes they are happy to pay for this piece of mind.
