Oh that's an easy fix:
Dear Parents
Beginning September 5, any family still on the child care property after closing time will be assessed a late fee of $X.
A late fee policy needed to be implemented due to the high number of parents not respecting ABC Daycare's closing time.
ABC Daycare closes at 5PM. This means ALL families must pickup their child and be off site NO LATER than 5PM.
Unfortunately grace periods will not be given as it is simply not possible.
Thank you for your consideration and respect when adhering to this new policy.
Sincerely
Tired Daycare Provider-that-just-wants-you-to-take-your-kid-and-go-home!
