Contract:
Hours of Operation:
Full-time day positions are Monday thru Friday from ___6:30___a.m. till _5:15_____p.m.
You must be here to pick up your child no later than 5:30 pm. Traffic, leaving work late, ect. will not be accepted as excuses! A $5 fee will be charged for every 10 mins late. This is enforced!
Full-time is not to exceed 9 hours a day. If a parent needs more than 9 hours, additional fees will be included.
YOU MUST GIVE A PAID TWO WEEK NOTICE IF YOU CHOOSE TO NOT USE MY SERVICES ANYMORE.
Attendance/Fees Agreement:
PLEASE NOTE PAYMENT RULES!
Tuition for child(ren) is based on holding a spot, not on attendance, so fees are due whether the child is absent or not.
By using my services, you agree to my payment rules and what I charge a week/time off/holiday pay days. If you refuse to pay a normal pay week on a holiday or my paid time off, you agree to being instantly terminated! I will not accept any excuse not to pay-my bills are just as important as yours. So, please, please, please don’t come back at me the first time I take time off, or you take time off. I cannot stress this enough.Payment is to be made every week. If 1 consecutive pay periods are missed, a penalty fee of $___10__ per day will be charged for each day that you are late paying your account.
***Provider time off ****
Provider will receive 14 days paid leave a year and 3 days paid bereavement if needed. This starts in January each year. I will try to give plenty of notice for any time taking off, but emergencies do happen.
NOTE: Provider uses paid time off when taking a day off here or there, so your weekly fee will still be normal throughout year until days off are used up.
If the provider needs to close early, or if it is a holiday, it will not count as a vacation day and full day pay as normal.
Holidays
Daycare will be closed on all major holidays (see attached yearly holiday schedule) These will still be NORMAL pay weeks. Note: Daycare is closed for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. If one or both days fall on the weekend, I will be closed an additional day. Ex. Christmas falls on Saturday, I will be closed on the 23rd as well. This will still be regular pay week.
You are Required to Supply:
*Change of clothing.
*Formula if needed.
*Baby food if needed.
Disposable Diapers Only (no cloth) or pull ups if potty training. We do not do no pullup training! They can not wear underwear until they can go at least two weeks dry at daycare.
Food:
Provider will supply two nutritious snacks and lunch per day. Breakfast is not provided, but parents are welcome to bring breakfast from home.
Absence:
Please be courteous and let the provider know if not coming any given day. Payment will still be due.
Respecting Your Provider
Your child’s time here can be a wonderful experience, and you and your child will be treated just like family! 🙂 So, please give your provider the same respect in return. I will not tolerate being made to feel guilty for having to close/close early for personal matters. Life happens just like it does in everyone’s life. Paying for your child to attend does not give you any right to disrespect, be bossy or demanding. Also, texts/calls do not need to be made over diaper care-if a spot was missed, it was by pure accident and the provider does not need a reminder text telling them about it.
Your Child’s Safety
Please have your child/children dressed and ready for play upon arrival. Please do not send your child/children in PJ’s or barefoot. Even on hot days , shoes are needed for health and safety reasons.
Taxes
Please keep track of fees paid for the year. I do mine as a whole and not individually. Tax Id info will be provided if needed at the end of year.
Parking
Please pull all the way up or park in turn around when arriving.
I look forward to having your family in our daycare! 🙂
