    Find out from those around you what their policies are paying by enrolment or paying for days booked. In my case when they contract with me they are booking one of my 5 spaces to be there whenever they want it and they are charged a fee accordingly. Another option would be to have a minimum fee per week whether they use the days or not so that you can count on 3 days worth of income minimum. If you have a contract then why not enforce the contract. If they ask for a break they need to be reminded that the money they pay you is your income and that you have expenses that don't change by the number of days the child is there and those have to be paid first meaning there is less left to provide for the children. If nothing else cut back on anything you can in the daycare such as craft supplies, special events, keep meals anad snacks simple - sort of the parents get what they pay for which isn't much it sounds like.

    If possible consider advertising for new clients that want full time care and replace the part time with full time.
