That's a tough one. Sometimes we make accommodations for certain families. Myself, I would probably insist on the 3 days per week for the summer and just grandfather her in in that regard. I have a family too, who is taking over a full time spot for their second child (not the one attending currently). She came in at my old rate of $40/day. New spots are going for $45 and NO special breaks for teachers. However, for this golden client, I'm willing to bend. I can see your conundrum. Well, you know what I'd do. I'm sure lots would be tougher than me and might have better insight.
