Client changing schedule-Advice pls

[5 Little Monkeys]

I agree bright, it's much easier said than done to just stop taking part time. As of July, I will have 5 kids enrolled with it being 2 full time and 3 part time. I'm limited to 4/day and thankfully right now I am full everyday. However, unless all 3 pt's leave at the same time, I'm stuck filling pt spots or taking a decrease in pay for who knows how long until all 3 are gone. I would love to only accept ft or at least charge ft whether they are here or not but until I have space I can't charge for a spot that's not open.

One of my only regrets with opening my business is that I started with pt. If I could do it again, I'd have only accepted ft. Live and learn though and hopefully one day I can get to that but right now it's not possible unless I take a cut in pay.

OP, if you don't want them to decrease their schedule than you need to tell them that it's not an option. I give a $10 decrease for any day I know they won't be here ahead of time, could that be an option?
