Overlap? No thanks!

Im going to jump in on this (even though I wanted to avoid)
I think if they are paying a weekly fee, and contracted for certain days ie tuesday, wednesday, friday, then, regardless of how much they are paying, they are NOT entitled to switch. but if they are paying a weekly fee, for five days with an understanding that they have that spot, then they are. How much they pay doesnt matter, that is mute. I have some parents paying more just because they are new, and I raised my fees, the older clients will not pay more until I raise my rates. Lots of providers will charge more per day for kids that only come 2-3 days.for example 5 days of care is $40/day or 200 a week, but 3 days of care $50/day or $150 a week, and the weekly rate applies regardless of attendance.
Also, even if they are paying for five days, with the understanding that they will be changing the days needed, I feel like a 24-48 hour notice is required (2 weeks is too long, but 24-48 hrs reasonable)
so, I have to side with the OP in this (if I am understanding the situation)
