Hello, I have some new families that will be starting soon so I would like to tweak my old contract for new and current families. I have a few questions.
1. How many weeks do you require parents to let you know that they would like to terminate the contract? I have 2 weeks notice in my old one but have noticed other daycares require 30 days and if a parent terminated before 30 days payment is owed for those days. What is your rule for giving notice?
2. When a new family starts do you require a deposit? I have families on the first day pay me for the week of care and a deposit for in case they terminate. That deposit goes towards their last week of care with me. I am not sure if this is the best way. What do you all require?
3. If you do require a deposit from a new family at what point does that deposit go away? I have some families who have now been with me for almost 2 years, if they were to give me notice at this point would the deposit they gave me when they first started still go towards the last week of care?
Thanks so much for any information!!!!
