I have a set number of spaces available. If they want a space, they pay for it. If they don't use it part of the year, that isn't my problem.

I am NOT a time share. I am a self-employed business owner who needs to eat ALL year, not just during the school year. I don't take school ager's to fill the gaps as I don't take school age children at all.
This is exactly my view on it as well. I had a teacher family last year and they paid full fees year round to keep the spaces. They chose to send their kids to me much of the summer as well, but had they kept them home they still would have paid. While I am sure I would want to not pay during summer if I were a teacher, I cannot afford it on my end. I don't take school-agers either and don't plan to, so I need that steady income. If a teacher doesn't like this, they simply don't sign with me in the first place.
