Parents having the day off

[apples and bananas]

I only charge a half fee for days the kids aren't here. It's in hopes that they choose to save a little and keep them home. And if they bring them, they pay full fees anyways.

I guess I'm lucky as I have clients who drop off around 9 and pick up around 4 on days off. I've never had a client take a day off and leave their kids with me for the full day.

I used to leave my kids at daycare on my days off too. (early pick ups though) The kids enjoyed being at daycare and I liked the consistency. So I completely understand, and am flattered, when a parent takes the day off but still chooses to put their child with me.

I guess it's all how you look at it.
