I only charge for the days the child is in care, and stat holidays if it falls on the childs regular day. I do not charge for sick days mine, or theirs, nor do i charge for vacation days. In the nine years I have been doing daycare, I have not had issues. I do state in my contract that extended time off (more than a week) will be subject to review.
Holy Cow!!! If I didn't charge parents when their kids were home sick...I wouldn't have a paycheck! If it's not one...it's another that is sick....or the parents would just say they don't feel well and keep the kid at home cause they are taking a day off...
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
