Enrollment Contract

[ECE53]

Looks good I would suggest you get paid biweekly instead of monthly ( months have different amounts of days) and have them pay in advance. Also make sure you're are clear that Parents pay when their children are away sick. Also just curious why you are not providing yourself with paid sick days or holidays. 5 sick days and 10 paid holidays are the minimum here. Good luck !
Also you should add an illness policy - things that you will not let the children attend daycare when they have it fever, vomiting etc. Check with your local health dept for things you should exclude for.

The monthly payment is the same regardless of the amount of days of care. The norm here in Edmonton is to charge a monthly rate not weekly or daily. Then parents pay in advance for a month. I offer 1st and 15th payments if parents choose but so far no one has taken me up on that.

I had my child in daycare for 1.5 years and I never had any of the providers have paid sick or vacation days. I honestly didn't think that was possible. I used both agency providers and private dayhomes and they had the same rules. Paid stats, no paid vacation or sick days. Days the child in care were sick however are still charged. That seems to be the norm here but I'm going to look into a little further. I know my "sister dayhome" (we partner for field trips and cover each others sick days) doesn't even pay herself for stats.

Hmm in my policy manual I provide parents I have my illness policy listed. Should I make sure it's in the contract as well? I assumed that in the policy manual was enough, but perhaps I should have parents sign off on it.

It depends on your location ECE53. Where I am (south of Ottawa), it's not the norm to have paid sick days. The only paid days I get are when I'm open and stat holidays.

But agree with ECE53 on you need an Illness policy. PM me, and I can help if you want!
