I am late to this discussion but wanted to chime in and say I love PT families. The way I have my fees broken down I make more with PT than full time per spot.
I require set days with a choice of either Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday.
In terms of flexibility there are two options I offer:
- If space allows they can switch schedules from M/W/F to T/TH and vice versa with 30 days advice notice in writing.
- They can also add an occasional additional day if space allows for a daily fee. (My daily fee is significantly higher so that just adding two additional days makes it more cost effective for them to increase their contracted schedule from T/TH to M/W/F.)
Having the set days also allows me to plan and prep art activities, curriculum, snacks, etc. it also allows me to max my income potential.
Glad to hear you have a newsletter, I just did my first one and plan to do them monthly so I hope they are read!!!
