Glad you don't look after my child
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostVery well said. Yes, you are paying for the spot, not the hours you use it, unless you EXCEED the hours agreed on.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSeems you want yo have it both ways, you want to come and go as you please and charge us for your non-service because we are paying for the spot. So if I am paying for a spot like a salary as stated previous then it should not matter if hours are exceed since you have no concern to charge us when you do nothing at all and are not open for business.
Leaving your child at a business past closing time is abandonment.
Like comparing apples to felonies.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

I have a weekly fee, and sometimes that fee is less if I'm closed for vacation or holidays.
HOWEVER, my weekly rate reflects that. It's higher than it would be if I charged for holidays and vacation days...because I still calculated my annual salary and divided it by weeks of the year, considering three weeks closed and holidays.
I would be making the same amount either way...it's just a slightly bigger pain in the youknowwhat to calculate rates on the rare weeks I am closed.

I think parents complain less when billed monthly (think preschool fees), so they pay for the month even if closed for a week. It probably seems different to pay $500 per month for December than $125 per week for 4 weeks if childcare is closed for 1 of those weeks, but most of your parents who pay weekly would probably complain that they cannot pay monthly.

Holidays
My daughters daycare keeps adding days off around holidays. I don't get assistance and have to pay full price. This year, on top of the extra Friday before Memorial Day, they have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Christmas week and New Years. That's $240 for 4 days of daycare. Isn't there some type of law? Does the state have to pay all these extra days, I work government job and they get more holidays then I do and I have to pay for daycare that isn't available.

No, there's no law that tells a business owner what holidays they can and can not be paid for.
You should be supplied with what the terms are and you either agree and sign up or disagree and look elsewhere.
Just to compare, because you'd hate my daycare: I am closed and get paid Christmas Eve through New Years Day, 2 days at Thanksgiving, Veteran's Day, 2 days for Memorial Day, Labor Day, 2 days for 4th of July, President's Day and gosh, I know I'm forgetting more.

I also added in my policies to have reliable backup because providers are normal human beings who get sick themselves and have unexpected life thrown at them.
