Holding fee?

[DCMom]

Momof4, with your few days a week during transition, do you do them all in a row or space them out through the week?

During transition, then, I imagine you charge the daily rate for the days attended? (i.e. if your $200/month holding fee is the one week fee that'd put you at a $40/day rate - which I also am incidentally), but then once you transition 1 day a week, you're charging only $160/month for those 4 $40 days, or is there another holding fee on top of that?

It doesn't matter to me what days the parents use but we always go to the downtown library on Mondays so I don't like them to start that day, but on a day when we can stay inside for part of the morning and go outside for a small part so that they become accustomed to my home and the other children. Then I schedule the rest of our weekly field trips on the other days the new child isn't attending.

I make more than $200 for the month once I start the transition of 1 day, then 2 days, then 3 days/week so charge my regular daily rate. But I'm only at $32/day for full-time and $35/day for part-time, so they have to pay the $35/day rate. I only charge the holding fee for the months before they start to do this.
