Grace period?

Definitely charge the late/early/long day (over9hours) fees and if they don't pay them you have grounds for termination. People will push their limits if you let them. If you start charging the fees they will find a way to get there on time. It never fails.

To clarify, they actually offered to pay for the 15 minutes early drop-off, but for me it is not worth the money. I value my quiet time in the morning so much. My kids are usually still sleeping and I have time to prepare myself for the day. So a fee would not be a deterrent. I have now told everyone that my intercom (that is what I use for a doorbell for the daycare) will be turned off at night and not turned on until 7:30...if I can't hear the bell I can't let them in early...LOL. I think this should do the trick!
