    Just a note about the late fee.... when I instituted a late fee b/c I was tired of people showing up late, at first all was good, no one was late, but then one family in particular didnt mind paying the late fee, so it happened often. My problem with rthem being so late was that it was cutting into the time I had to get my own kids evening activitries and routines done. Not that I wanted to be paid for my extra time! I cant remember who it is, but I know a couple here has a 3 strikes and your out policy....

    That would be me!

    This is my late fee policy - and I enforce it hard core.
    I will provide parents with a five minute grace period, then $1/minute according to my clock (which is programmed to the Weather Network). After 20 minutes, it will become $5/minute.
    This is the 3-strikes and you're out:
    Upon the third infraction of any guideline, as outlined in the manual, a two-week termination notice will be given.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
