qcj- I love that you are doing this too! It just sounds like the perfect fit for me. I know if I did it year around then maybe I wouldn't enjoy it as much! And my hubby is most busiest in the summer, so money is not an issue for summer! Would I be able to see a copy of your parent contract by any chance? Just to get a guideline? And are most of your children, children of teachers? How do they find care in the summer months, and do they always come back? Thanks in advance, this is so helpful!
