I give them the option and if they don't want to come, I don't charge them. If my kid has a really bad illness, I would close at no charge. It is not that big of a deal in my experience. I don't think it is unethical to give the option and still charge them either. As with anything, if it is in the contract that you signed, then you follow the policy. For me, I would probably not choose a daycare that charged me if I chose to keep my child home, but to each their own
