Encouraging parents to come pick-up their children on time

[Play and Learn]

If a parent is late, they owe me money - exact cash for the next day of care. If they don't come with the money, they don't get care. PERIOD. If they can't accept that (and the contract that they signed) they're termed.

My policy is 5 minute grace period then $1/minute. After 20 minutes it becomes $5/minute. They're entering MY family time, and I will NOT be a happy camper. I've only had one late, and she's now gone as she had 2 other strikes! 3 strikes and you're termed in my daycare.
