How Do You Ask For Payment?

Oh I had the parents that would tell me...oh I left my checkbook at home..let me leave So and So and run home really quick. Um no..you take So and So. So and So can not stay here with payment.

No pay..No play!

Yup, families pay in advance here and I have the same policy. If they don't have the dough, they take their kid in tow. Hasn't happened often but it has happened.

I would not take the child this morning unless they have payment in hand (with late fees) It sounds like you have reminded them & they know what your rules are. If you do not follow your own rules then they will do it again & again & even start other issues.

I got the payment last night (with the late fee) after a follow-up phone call. Here's hoping the check clears ok.

What to do

Can you delete stuff on here

Can you delete stuff on here

there's probably another way, but if you want to delete a post right now, i would just hit EDIT at the bottom of the post and then clear it out, or change it.

I don't have payment problems because I will not accept payment problems.

If you are a parent with a payment problem then you just became a parent with a child care problem because Judy won't care for kids for whom she has not been paid.

And yes, I mean, every single word of that above.

I make it VERY clear early on that payment problems will NOT happen or I will terminate them.
