Hi everyone,
My name is Rachel. I tried to register to use this forum but am having technical difficulties. If and when I do my user name will be poulou.
Today I am handing out contracts and a handbook for the first time in twenty years of doing childcare. Verbal agreements are no longer working with the set of parents I have. I will write more about that later. I am very nervous about the fallout. For the first time I will be charging late fees, enforcing policies and so forth. I need all of your help to stand firm and not cave. I am a softee and all that has gotten me are parents who bend, bend and bend the rules even more.
I sense that a couple of families will not be able to follow the rules, and I will have to terminate. But for today they all get handbooks and contracts. How long should I give them to return them signed, and what do I do if after a week they still haven't signed them?
thanks
Rachel
