Personally...for my daycare...I would do it. They are still coming part time and I would enjoy having more time with my OWN kids during the summer and enjoying the nice weather. I could manage that financially.

In my Daycare Handbook I actually offer teachers the summer off with no pay. I just hold their deposit for the summer. I don't mind having more time in the summer with my kids.

I guess it really depends on you and whether the part time will make a big effect on you financially. You don't want to lose a good family just because of a few summer months.

You might find someone else to fill in the other part time spots if you advertise now
