I think she means she has already collected a 2 week deposit per the contract. But since she's having to hold an open spot until August, she will charge them half price until August just for holding the spot (with the option to bring them 2 days a week).
It is true that you should try to explain that parents are paying for their SPOT just as much as they are paying for your services. So I think you could talk to the parents about it. They may not understand it though. It's hard for them to understand why they would need to pay you if they don't need your services yet.
