    I have found most parents understand when you explain paying for the space vs paying for days used. They may not like it but when you explain it from a financial standpoint, they usually understand why you do it this way. Sometimes, most times actually lol, parents don't think about that side of our business so they don't realize that we are limited to income until we point it out to them.

    Hi chenderson - I think if you word it such as it is just like you have to pay rent even if you go on holidays for 2 months. the fees for daycare needs to be paid in the same way - they get it better as they understand that and it helps to get post-dated cheques too

    Thanks again everyone! I do take post dated cheques Van and have up until June for this one family (I suggest they provide me with 6 months at a time). I will just send them their payment schedule and see if they say anything.

    I do charge them for the 2 months as it is hard to fill for me in my area
    they are paying to keep the spot for Sept
    come don't like it and move on but at lease with post-dated cheques you know where you stand for the summer and can look for someone new if they are leaving
