i have one teacher family. they pay me 50% regular fees to hold their spot over the summer. they usually send their kids 1-2x a week to get errands done and keep kids accostumed to daycare routine. this works out for me because in lieu of them not coming this allows me to watch my b/a sa full time in the summer so im not losing any $$. if i wasnt able to arrange something like this i wouldnt hesitate to charge full time fees. my teacher family knows i have a waiting list right now so they are happy to pay to hold their spot!
