Just curious to see if someone has encountered a similar situation. I have a family that has paid me a holding fee for a spot that starts in January. The mom and her child has spent a morning with me this month to see what my daycare was like. Last week she left her child with me for a few hours while they went to a funeral. This week she wants to leave her child for a full day. My handbook states I only do full time care. How should I charge this family? Full time for December or for each day she leaves her child? Holding fee was 50% of full time rate. Mom paid me the holding fee for four months.
