I used to offer half off for parent vacations. I got rid of that and a parent didnt realize it and asked why they were being charged the full price. I explained that in the new handbook she signed, i got rid of the discount. She just said Oh ok. Lol
Get rid of the days! "Tuition is to hold your childs spot in the daycare, not based on attendence"
This is what is so dumb about it!
I changed my policies in May and I make it very clear that "because I have reserved a spot for you child in my daycare, payment is due regardless of attendance." This is something I offered (verbally) extra only for this family. I have a separate sheet where she initials when she uses her no-charge days. I guess at least she won't have to sign a new contract and I won't have to give out a new handbook!
