If you CAN get them to pay 52 weeks a year the same amount of money regardless of the child's attendance then why offer away two percent of your yearly income. It's a very signficant amount of money if you have a number of kids.

If I did offer that I would definitely NOT allow the coupon to be used until the family had done at least one full calander year. Otherwise you could end up with a short term use client who uses the week and it end up being 5 -- 10 percent of your income for that slot.
I like the idea of the coupons, but as for right now, I don't give breaks for vac. sicknesses, etc. now if I am sick or my child, I take it out of my vac. or take it unpaid. It hasn't ever happened in over 6 yrs. though. I have been lucky!!!
