Just wondering if you charge your regular fees for summer kids, like those that go to a magnet pre -k and they close for the summer so they come to a home day care. And for school age children, charge the same or different?

I charge the same rate for each of my spaces. I don't care if a child is filling it long term or temporarily. They all pay the same rate.

If they leave a space and don't want to pay for it anymore, I fill it.

I don't hold spaces.

Someone else's situation has NO bearing on my job.
I work the entire year through all seasons.

I got notice on a pair of siblings this week due to the mom recently having a third child. The entire time she was expecting she jokingly asked if the third was discounted or free.....guess she was serious....not my problem....
