I'm in need of some advice concerning a deposit.
First of all, do you charge a deposit when starting a new dcf?
Some clients of mine recently dropped out of day care without giving the two week notice that's in our contract. They had payed a deposit but since they didn't give notice I wasn't going to pay it back.
But the mother just contacted me and we have agreed to have the children one day a week for now. I will most likely be replacing the now part time kids with two full timers.
I guess my question is, now that they are back for the one day are they entitled to the full deposit refund? I feel like they have really put me in a bad financial situation because they dropped out of full time care without notice and honestly I can't afford to pay back the full deposit.
