Hi everyone. I have a lady calling me hopefully today regarding a spot but she needs care to start about 6-8 weeks after my spot is available. I told her she had 2 options, either start early or pay a holding fee until her start date. problem is that I have never charged a holding fee and have no idea what is reasonable. another question, if you are charging someone a holding fee do yo give them the option of bringing the child to you once in awhile at no charge? I'm guessing that someone might think that since they are paying something that they are entitiled to use some days. thanks
