I recently started catering to teachers more because my kids still count in my ratio when they're home from school so I really have to close for all school breaks for right now. I take 10 weeks out of my typical yearly tuition and spread it evenly over the entire year so I get paid the same every week. So they are getting a big discount but I get guaranteed time off and pretty great hours. The stipulations are that when they are on breaks during the school year, they must keep their kids home, and they can use up to2 days a week in the summer with at least 48 hours notice. That gives quite a lot of time off with a guaranteed paycheck and no questions about paying over time off because they get that their time off is built in to their tuition. Haven't quite figured out if this screws me over if they leave mid year, but so far I haven't come across that.
