Client coming off mat leave wants to change hours

[Rose1]

I have not noticed that you stated anything about the extra cost for early drop offs and neither what are your regular opening hours.

You need to consider what you would loose and gain here.
Most of the times it is not very easy to find nice clients and specially the once with nice kids to provide care to,so if you think parents are respectful and the kids are easy going and nice to have in your day care,I would probably reconsdier all that before I decide to let them go.
Also,for the early drop off,if it is earlier than your regular hours or usually would be more than 9 hours or so,I would make them to pay for that time extra,you also need to get up earlier than usually and they should value your time too.You need to set the rules straight right away to make sure things don’t get confused or complicated later.
I know it is hard sometimes,and we want to be nice,but if we are not straight forward right away,things do get complicated later
