Parents are "renting" a spot for their child at daycare. Parent pays xx amount per week/month and child can come xx amount of days per week/month. Parents are not paying for the number of days in care, but the "spot" that has been designated for them.

Just like renting a house, if you go on vacation for a week your landlord is not going to deduct a weeks worth of rent because you were gone. Same here.
