I have a separate contract for a holding fee which would be for those who cannot enroll for even a week and want to make sure they get the spot or those who have to wait a few months. I will decide at the time considering a few factors on what that rate would be. Depends how full I am....if I have many open spots the fee will be less and if I only have one spot remaining then the fee will be higher.....same goes for whether they're a full time spot or part time spot or unusual hours spot.

The holding fee is not applied towards anything. It's simply a fee for my commitment to hold that spot and turn others away until you can enroll. The same goes for the deposit. It's ony refundable if you decide not to stay enrolled during the first two-week trial period. After those two weeks have completed, the two week deposit will be applied for when parent's give notice. This saves me if they decide to walk and not come back I would have the final two-weeks' pay already.
