Upon Enrollment a deposit or $200 will be required per child. This deposit may be paid in full or in weekly installments with the maximum time allowed being eight weeks at $25/per week. The first payment towards deposit must be paid the first day the child is in care. In order to hold and guarantee a future spot the deposit must be paid in full. This deposit will not be refunded but used towards the last two weeks of care. (see discharge)
Notice it says the deposit will not be refunded, but used towards the last two weeks of care. One of the families we are parting on a good note, the other with three kids not so much. I知 wondering if I should just pay and be done with it. I知 also aggravated though that I offered a 50% discount when I didn稚 have to and now they are taking advantage. This family is bitter I refused to keep their kids during this virus. Both parents are with the school district. One is a para, and taking with friends that a paras. They aren稚 expected to do any work but are still getting paid per their contract. They wanted to bring me their kids 40 hours a week, and when I confronted them about why they were so full of lies. So I知 actually relieved they put in their notice, they have been a stress inducing family the entire time they have been with me... kids included. One part of me is bitter about the money, the other part is just not up for the battle.
I知 hoping schools open when they are currently scheduled for at the end of April and they are beating themselves up about not having childcare for the last month.
same here. ..parents are dropping like flies ...saying they cant afford 50%...even though they're both working from home. Im thinking its gonna be another month.. if the parents that left...want back at that point....they'll be getting a new very "special rate"!!! I've come to peace with starting over.
