Hi there,
I have to agree with sunnydays there. I also have 2 weeks paid vacations sats, plus one day for professional development if I have to attend a child eductation conference or update my CPR that can not be taken over the weekend. The parents also pay if the child does not attend for sickness or whatever other reason but was expected. I also understand that it might be difficult to pay daycare when you are not getting any hours at work however the plus side to this is NO suprise. You know what you owe and when you owe it. Therefore budgeting is actually easier. Anyways is was for me when I had to pay childcare. This also the reason I ask parents to commit to the same amount or days. It makes it a lot more easier to manage it that way.

As for the actual fees, I can,t comment really as I do not know the average in your area but I have to say that altough budget is a huge issue, SOMETIMES you pay for what you get.

I am also very by the book and not only for myself but to ensure that every family receives the same treatment. We have to be fair for everyone right ?
