I get that a $3/day increase can be a big deal for some, but I personally think you are selling yourself short. I'm in Halton, and the going preschool rate is $45 a day and $50 for under 2 years.
Get all clients on a contract that specifies everything. Fees are based on enrollment, not on days attended. Don't give away free sick days. Their spot is being held open for the illness. I think your fee increase is reasonable. My contract says I can change policies at any point during the year. I gave families about 6 weeks notice when I raised rates for 2016. If they won't sign it, then interview, and find a new client.
