Thanks ladies. I am writing in my new contract that I am revisiting it and may revise every 6 months. I do give my parents a lot of breaks, I don't ask for a deposit, I don't ask to be paid on any holidays (stat or my own), they don't pay for my personal days off, etc. I don't ask for a holding fee and hold spots for parents often. I am thinking of telling parents of this increase now but won't put it into effect for them until July ( since in my new contract I am reviewing jan and July). This gives them 4 1/2 months to find new care if they choose not to pay the extra couple of dollars a day? I also want to do this now because I have 2 new clients that work with my current clients and I know they will be discussing how much they pay, I rather everyone be on the same page and know that they are all paying the same/will be paying the same.
