I am in Ontario.

My fees are based on the 'space' being occupied in my program not your attendance in it ... allowing non payment to clients for sick days, vacation or what not opens a HUGE can of worms in regards to trying to BUDGET for your business...I personally could not afford to offer clients unpaid vacation on THEIR part because if all 5 clients choose to take the SAME suddenly you have no revenue coming in but you still have your bills to keep the business viable and so forth!

I have two fee options for parents depending on how they like to budget.

$160 / week for full time space Monday - Friday 9 hours a day max - you pay the same fee 52 weeks and the program is closed for all stats, 10 days of vacation and 10 personal days a year.

$173 / week for full time space Monday - Friday 9 hours a day max - you pay for Stat closures but when I close for vacation or a personal day your fee is lowered that week $34.60 / day for each day closed.

Either way at the end of the year I am making the SAME amount of $$$ it is just all in how clients prefer to budget and when I have clients on fee plan B I just make sure to put an extra $13 of their fees into my savings each week if I am sick and need a day off I am not 'hurting'.
