Overlap? No thanks!

If a f/t client isn't using their space that day and you fill that spot with one of your occasional clients, then I would not charge f/t client for that day. That is the honest thing to do especially since you don't allow your f/t clients access to their paid for spot due to a last minute schedule change. If you don't, it is double dipping and as your client I would not tolerate it.

The argument regarding paid holidays/sick days in comparison to this analogy is mute as it is a different issue regarding a separate contract agreement that is about being decent to your daycare provider. Like myself, some providers do not charge for these days and that is up to them. For those that do charge for these days it may be the norm in their area as in mine it is not.
