My thinking is I won't have room till then, and if they decide to not bring child to care then I am paid for the two weeks that it may take to fill the spot that I thought was filled.
This is how I do it. They pay me a two week deposit that is used to the first two weeks of care. The deposit is non-refundable no matter the reason.
