I agree with this advice although personally for me I wouldn’t be giving any discounts for any children who only come two days a week. In fact I would be charging them a higher rate. Do you have children on an opposite schedule to make up for the loss? If not I would be looking to replace with full time children. I also think offering to take back just the older child is a bigger slap in the face than saying they cannot come back. If you do want them back you need to have a clear plan on how you will be dealing with the infants crying. After X amount of time call for pick up. Pick up must be within 30 minutes of the call.
