Would You Charge?
I closed a couple hours early on Friday. I gave the option that if picking up early doesn't work for them, they could use a backup for the day and I wouldn't bill them.
Everyone still planned to come and just planned on picking up early. Well, that same week my entire group got sick. I ended up only having 1 child on Friday. I still planned to bill everyone for that day since I planned on them attending. It was only because their children were sick and couldn't attend is why they were absent. Would you do the same thing? I'm worried a parent may question it and I need to have a prepared response. |

The only time I'd consider not charging or issuing a refund is if I was unavailable to provide care.
If I was available to provide care but someone unexpectedly did not attend (due to illness or whatever) I still charge. MY availability is the deciding factor for me in situations like that. |

I would do the same. My tuition policy states that payment is due whether or not a child actually attends day care so, if I were in your position, I would still expect payment for Friday.

Same here. If not for them being sick, they would have come. I'd charge.
