Overlap? No thanks!

[ottawamommy]

it worries me that you think this is just about "tea"

[BlueRose]

Crayolmom - is your fee a "weekly fee" or a "flat enrollment fee" that is paid weekly?

If its a weekly rate then I do understand what the others are saying. If a parent pays for the full week they should be allowed to use the full week.

BUT

If you have a flat enrollment fee for your program. That different. They come on their scheduled days. You fill in the other days with drop in kids. A flat enrollment fee doesn't vary due to number of days that are scheduled.

I think the main problem here is the terms being used "weekly fee" vs "flat enrollment fee"

I missed first post but my thought based on what I think the question is.

If parent charged for 5 days each week, even if they only use some, then it their spot each day and not only should they be able switch days but also, they should be able come every day if they want. We have lot of rotating shift worker here so can be one week Mon-Wed and next week Thu-Fri. Lot provider charge for FT place since parent need to know every shift has available space.

If parent paying for 5 days, and needs 4 or 5 days occasionally or switch to different days, since paying for those days, I think they have right to do that. It's their child's place. No different than have FT client who has lot days off with Grandparent but parent still paying for non-attending day. Would never say to that person that Grandma was supposed to come on Tuesday but now visit cancelled, child cannot attend.

If it flat fee each week but parent contacted for set day care, then I agree that not always possible to switch last minute.

I more likely to turn away the casual care person than one paying each and every week and giving regular income.

You bet, oh guess what I am gonna go grab a HONEY crueller and a tea after my day is done. And when are you going to realize that I don't care what you say?

You are in essence behind a screen, be the keyboard warrior you need to be, in the end it done matter, I am just having fun with this now.

I answered Crayolamom the best I could and never said a cross word, I said honey, which is something I say, believe what you want... It's all good.

Have a great weekend. I know I will, I am going to get some family photos done, my ds is growing so fast, I love to be able to be here to enjoy him.

You too, we are spending the weekend in Montreal. Can't wait. But then again that's why I work, to go on vacations big and small.
Dodge - I'll send you some HONEY to go with your tea and crueller, my uncle in N.C. has a hive.
