I decided to change the hours of my dayhome starting May. I'm doing this for a number of reason, currently my hours are just too long and I have families that take advantage of this and my flexibility, and most importantly my time with my own child is suffering which is something that bothers me especially since I started my dayhome so that I could spend more time with him. How far in advance would you advise parents of the change? I know I will lose a few families but they are currently families/children that I have been having problems with so their departure will not be a bad thing. In my contract I have stated that I will give at least 2 weeks notice for termination so I figure if I advise families a month before the change that should be sufficient enough time. Do you think 4 weeks notice is enough or should I tell them sooner?
Thanks
