Teacher fees

[Busy ECE mommy]

Many providers have different ways of dealing with this. I'm assuming you don't do exclusively teachers? You could charge them a higher daily rate, and then they don't pay for Xmas/March Break/summer, and take a 2 week deposit in june, for september. You could charge them the higher daily rate and make them pay for Xmas and march break, but not summer, but take a 2 week deposit for september before the end of june. You could say they have to come part-time at least 3 days a week during the summer months, or pay 1/2 the FT fees for July/Aug to hold it open, but not use the spot. You might request them to be FT only. Not sure what your contract says. The variations are endless... What is the norm in your area? Ask a few other providers. Most teachers are very well paid, so it irritates me when they want special favours at my financial expense. I have 2 teachers in my care, and one came PT in the summer(3 days), and one kept their child in FT. They both paid full fees for all of the school breaks.
