Increasing Fees...how do I tell parents?

[Judy Trickett]

When I increase fees I do it two ways:

1. I post the increased fee on my fees schedule of my website and any new clients come into care on the new fee schedule.
2. Existing clients get a fee increase at contract renewal time. All my contracts expired Dec 31st each year and at that time I make any necessary changes and have parents sign the new contract. If a parent takes issue with any changes then I replace them with another family.

Hi Judy,

I apologize to all for highjacking this thread with an unrelated comment, but it was the only way I could think of to get a message to you. Your private message box here on daycarebear is full and will not accept a message, and I could not find anywhere on your forum to send you a direct message. I thought maybe by replying here it would send you a notification since you had contributed to this thread.

Anyway, I am trying to register on the daycare provider connection forum but am having a technical issue and can't complete it. When I get to the bottom, the confirmation code only shows as an x in a box; you can't see the code. I've tried refreshing the page numerous times, and I've even tried accessing it from both my firefox and internet explorer browsers, in case it was a browser issue.

Everything else is filled out; my username, password, email address attached to my website, etc.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
