I understand what everyone is saying...if someone leaves without paying for the week....I losse....My parents pay Monday morning for the current week....if they don't come with the money....on Monday morning....they have til Monday night...no money....no daycare...The MOST I will ever lose is 1 day pay....As far as going to small claims court...wouldn't do it for 1 day pay....I have my parents sign prescription/medication, in case of emergency forms etc. I just don't have a long contract per se....
