I have 3 families that are teachers.
One family switches to drop in care (this is my nephew, so I know they will come back!)
One family goes from 5 days to 2 days, pays a slightly higher tuition for those two days and pays regardless of attendance.
The last family goes from 4 days to 2 days.

They all provide the schedule way in advance so I advertise to fill their spots during the summer. So far, it has worked for me. I have families that have left and only come back for the summer so usually we tend to be busier in the summer anyway.

and for the record - 24k for two kids tuition is about average over here. You have to keep in mind that cost of living and incomes are higher too, so no they are not getting caviar and lobster!
