Not to be harsh, but Daycare fees should be one of your most important bills to pay since without it you may not be able to work so please do not ask me if you can pay the following week because of another bill. This can become a bad habit to get into so I do not allow it.
-The daycare fee is subject to change yearly. I will give you ___2 weeks____ notice of any changes.
-If 1 consecutive pay periods are missed, this contract will automatically be terminated. A penalty fee of $___10__ per day will be charged for each day that you are late paying your account.

-Fees will be normal regardless of a holiday falling on week day, or daycare is closed due to holiday falls on weekend. Example: Christmas eve, Christmas Day and day after daycare will be closed with normal pay week (If Christmas Eve and Day fall on weekend, that Fri and following Monday will count as paid closing)
-Provider will have one week PAID vacation a year and 3 day paid personal days. If provider needs to close early, full payment is still due for that day.

If circumstances warrant, and you cannot be reached, I will get in touch with your emergency contact.

Your child/children will be disciplined in a manner appropriate to the situation. This discipline is not abusive and does NOT include corporal punishment.
