Hi.

How frustrating. I always tell my clients what "payment by enrollment" means. During the first interview and give them also time to decide to go forward or not with this condition.

I guess as they won't or do not want to pay. You can also keep their last "childcare receipt " until they pay their last fee.

Small claims court will take time. You can even suggest to this family to ask other caregivers so they can realize that this is a norm. They have to pay with a child in attendance or not.
