OK..so this is a military family?

I started daycare while my husband served in the USAF. I only tended USAF children.

It was 30 years ago and back then, it was the norm for parents to pay AFTER care had been provided.

But it was NEVER a problem. Why? Because every airman knew that all I had to do was pick up the phone and make a call to their squadron commander to let them know if I wasn't paid. Bad debt is VERY SERIOUSLY frowned upon by the military. A guy in my husband's squadron was let go with a dishonorable discharge for bad debt.

I made sure clients knew I wasn't scared to call their commander if I didn't get paid. Could you do the same?
