QUESTION 1:
For those that allow 2 or 3 days a week is it best to let dcp pick the days (in advance per the contract so a three day could be M,T, TH or M,W,F etc.) or to do set days (i.e. M/W/F or T/TH).
QUESTION 2:
For those who say set days would it be best to do:
M,W, F (3-day) T,TH (2-day)
or
M-W (3-day), TH,F (2-day)
Right now I am getting most families emailing with interest for three days a week, very few for 2 days per week....
When I have parents that want less than 5 days of care, I allow them to choose the days BUT the days they choose must stay the same. If they choose, Monday, Tuesday and Friday they pay for those 3 days NO MATTER what and are free to ADD an additional day for an additional fee but if they want/need access to a different 3 days every week then they pay a full week rate for that availability.
I have 12 spaces. I allow 2 of them to be filled/used by part timers. I then enjoy the days I have less kids.
All the other spaces are filled with full time kids.
