I do exactly what Reggio does. I have a daily rate and parents have the option of paying bi-weekly or monthly. All of my current parents pay monthly so I just add up the days of care in each month and provide them with that and they make out their cheques according to that...most of them have given me post-dated cheques. Perhaps you could let your new clients know that what you meant by $1080 was that that is an average month's fees, but here is the list of all the months in the year with the amount of fees for each month according to the number of days in the month.
