New client of a 1 year old (been here 2 weeks) hasn't yet paid the bill for next week's care. Was due at noon and accrues $10/day until paid.
She pays the median price between my FT and PT rates to have a flex care arrangement. (3-5 days on alternating weeks), and was asking me how much it would be for 2 days next week since her mom can watch the kid. I told her that she pays the same amount each week regardless of how often her kid comes but that for next week, she could bring the kid for 3-4 days since she's paying for it anyway.
I've had SO many prospective clients that only want to pay for days used on low need weeks and pay the cheaper daily rate on weeks they need more care. It clearly states in my Handbook that it doesn't work that way. Am I saying it wrong? "Tuition is due every week regardless of your child's attendance."
At what point should I assume that she's not coming back? Monday morning? I have 3 interviews scheduled for Saturday and 2 want immediate care if I agree to it.
