I am taking paid vacation july 5th - 12. I want to send a reminder home with parents today so they know they will need to pay me for that week. I like to have them post date a check for when I am gone and get it in advance. how do you word that so it doesn't sound harsh???

I like to use my bulletin board or even facebook page for that type of thing (I hate talking money). I usually offer it up as "for their convenience" they can post date a check and I won't cash it till that date since its less convenient for them to come that Friday I am closed to drop off a check. I do let that be an option but I never have anyone say they'll do that instead of post dating one!
In your case do they pay in advance?? If so, I would just post a note that states "Daycare is closed as a paid vacation from July 5-12th. Payments are due by July 3rd." Now, if the issue is having them pay for the week of July 15th (which in my case is due on the 12th when I'm closed), I would also include that payments for the week of July 15th are due ON Friday, July 12th. They can be left in the mailbox on that date or I would be happy to accept a post dated check on July 3rd that will not be cashed until the 12th. -
I send out an email..

I do the same, and I also send home notices AND post it on facebook.
Just a reminder that DAYCARE NAME will be closed Friday, July 5th-Friday, July 12th and will reopen Monday July 15th.
All payments for the week of July 15th-July 19th will be due on Friday, July 12th. I will accept postdated checks under this circumstance.
Thank you!Comment
