OP:
1) I would let them know that you have a MAXIMUM of 10 hours per day policy. DC child needs picked up by 4:15 at the latest.
2) I would call the most expensive dc in town and make that amount be your new daily rate for this family... if your current rate for them is lower.
3) Have them sign a new contract.
4) I sense this family will abuse the new pick up time so include a very stiff late fee in the new contract.....and enforce it from day 1!
well, that's not typical or feasible for most people as not everyone is a teacher. that wouldn't even be possible for teachers here as school starts at 8 and if the latest pick up time is 4 and there's an 8 hour max they wouldn't be dropping off until 8 - not possible. not to mention there are regular meetings after school (usually once every two weeks at a minimum) that last until 4 or 5.
