Also, if I am understanding this correctly you are requiring 6 weeks notice before a family terms? That seems way excessive. Maybe I read that wrong...
I require one month of paid notice when terming a daycare space, the deposit is then refunded to the family in two additional weeks of free services as I do not refund deposits to hold spaces in cash. I'm sorry that you feel that is excessive but where I live this is a typical daycare notice so am only following what others in my area do.
