Daycare in the summer

[playfelt]

I charge more from September to June ($225 a week instead of regular $200). Then in the summer they may come one day a week (day of my choosing) at no cost. Other days they pay daily rate. What this does is pays me for the summer spread out over the 10 months. Come June they pay a two week deposit for the following Sept (non refundable) to hold their space. If they don't pay the deposit then I have been paid for two months of care while I replace for Sept.

If they choose to only pay the regular fee then the contract is signed as being in effect from Sept to June and I start advertising in April to fill for July 1.
