Optional Contracts
Hi Guys, I was wondering what I would do if I decided to offer DCP's "date night Fridays" or half day Saturdays at an additional cost. Would I need a separate contract for those days or would I just right it into my handbook that these are services available to them? Any ideas? Thanks

I offer Parent's Nights Out most Friday nights. (I'm home alone anyway<dh works 3rd shifts on weekends>, and the extra income is nice)
I don't have a separate contract, but I do spell out my guidelines in my handbook and every couple of months in my monthly newsletter - I want the evening to be "no hassle" for everyone - especially me My dcps are really good at following my rules - they don't want to lose the privilege I do have enrollment paperwork (Emergency forms and such) for every child that attends - updated annually. Here's how I run my Parent's Nights Out: - As a perk to my Current clients , they must reserve space by Wednesdays at 5pm (closing time) to guarantee a spot for their child/ren. They're welcome to request space later in the week, but they lose their guarantee of space available after Wednesdays at 5. -Former clients and families with older siblings no longer in care, can request space beginning on Thursday mornings. -All spaces are first paid/first reserved. Dcps pay when they reserve the spot. If they cancel, I refund their payment ONLY if another family takes their place. -Children not in attendance at daycare on Friday afternoons can be dropped-off after 5:15pm (I close at 5 - so there is no overlap of kids - I still have to follow licensing ratio guidelines even at night) -Pickups are by 11:30. Hope that helps! I'm running a Parent's Night Out this Friday - and already have $120 in an envelope in my kitchen from parents that have reserved space |

Just wondering....what do you charge per Friday night? This is not something I offer, but would consider it over the holidays etc.
