I take part time with some contingencies:

1. The rate is higher per day than other FT families. The rate is per DAY, regardless of how many hours and the schedule request can not interfere with my own schedule. Typically, I don't enroll only a couple hours- that's too much of a disruption and has no benefits for the child in terms of socializing.
2. The child must adapt within a reasonable time period. Usually within 4 weeks. If the child is unable to adapt, the contract is null and void. This is in the best interest of the whole group as well as the enrolled child.
3. I require a longer notice to term the contract.
4. All holidays are paid as normal. No switching days.

I currently have 1 child that is enrolled 3 days a week and he's my favorite kid! I actually prefer the higher rate for a shorter week.
