Write up new contracts! Hand them out a week or so before the starting date (a beginning of a new month is the best time for me) and let them know that if you do not receive the contract back signed and dated that you will void all care till you receive it back. Also let them know that if you do not receive them back you will start looking for children to replace their spots. Reinforce late pick up times with late fees and let them know if you have the child any later than 15 min. past your closing time and parents haven't called there will be a call placed to the parents for child abdonment. You have to take this seriously and then the parents will take you seriously. Good luck and please remember we are all here for you!!!!!
