2 out of my 5 families are teachers. The one dcb normally comes 4 days a week and in the summer he comes 2 days, plus his older brother comes too so I get the same dollar amount per week for that family since I watch 1 child 4 days a week during school year, but summer 2 kids 2 days a week. Fortunate there. The other family has twins and I normally have them 2 days a week during school year, but only 1 day in the summer. I require that they come at least 1/2 of their schedule. Not only keeps them here so I don't have to worry about them coming back in the fall, but keeps the kids in somewhat of a routine. Now during the school year they pay whether they come or not. Only time they don't is if I take a day off for vacation or sick.
