This didn't apply to me when the thread was current back in May but it does now. I've signed on a teacher family and they will be paying full regular fees from Sep-June, no matter if there are stats or days off for them, except for my closed vacations. Then we agreed they can switch to part-time in the summer and use 3 days/week and the Mom will be able to have some days to herself to get lots of things done at home. I like our deal.
