A current family wants to "pull" their child for the entire month of December and return sometime (they don't know when) in January. They will not pay during this absence and they may or may not even return. Not sure.

I do NOT feel comfortable keeping a contract open/valid while a family is not paying or attending my daycare for that length of time. Does their proposal automatically terminate their contract since they will cease, for 1 month, paying what the contract says they owe? I don't have any specific language in my policies saying that I will terminate a contract under circumstances like this one. But I do say that "the provider reserves the right to terminate this contract at will."

How would you handle this situation? And what language should I add to my policies and/or contracts to cover lengthy, unpaid absences on the clients part?
