New to daycare...Regretting my Rates & Policies

[playfelt]

The fact the parent has not honoured the verbal agreement by doing things like showing up early etc. then this would be a good time to put everything in writing so there are no further misunderstandings. Your contract will develop over a number of years and mostly it will start to contain things that cover an instance where you feel a parent took advantage of you. I would make sure that you have a contract in place for any incoming children and you can ask current parents to sign a more basic contract that spells out their current situation or give them your new contract and tell them that as of whatever date the new contract will be in effect and give them a deadline for returning the contract or you look for new children. The parents are taking advantage of you and need to realize that can't continue indefinitely.
