I'd be charging full fees and they can chose if and when to send their child. I have enough calls for a space that I could fill it and get full money so I would not be willing to lose pay for another family to save some money.
That said, if I wasn't able to easily fill the spot then I would consider holding fees etc. Also, if it was an amazing family and I risked losing them while the market is slow then again I may consider a holding fee of some sort.
I would not take on a school age child. Not worth my effort to transition in an older child for 2 months so another family can save money. It just messes things up on my end. I have all wee little ones and no before/after care so that would just not be an option.
