    One day I came across how a daycare (where it was, no idea) had a payment tab on her daycare website. I clicked on it and it gave a Make a payment on Full Time or Part Time rate. So, it didn't give out what the dollar amounts were, but there were just those two options online to pay with paypal.

    I will begin my daycare with giving everyone a receipt for payment. I will take cash or check as payment.

      I accept checks and in 8 years have only had issue twice. I have 3 parents who currently pay cash and the rest are check.

        I take checks, and have only had one bounce in 19 years (just recently as a matter of fact). It didn't cost me anything, so I didn't charge anything. I actually prefer checks over cash, but I wouldn't turn cash away ::.

          I prefer checks. I deposit them into my bank account using my iPhone and I never have to leave the house to go to the bank!! If I get paid in cash it messes me all up! ::

                  I accept checks and cash. I drive to my bank to deposit because it is only 1 mile from my home which is not big deal. I only have two checks bounces in 9 years but they paid right away!

                      All families but one give me checks - no problems - had to beat it into their heads though for awhile to remember to give them to me on paydays but haven't had a problem for over a year.

                      My other family does direct deposit which I obvioulsy LOVEEEEEEEEE !

                        Everyone here pays by check. On occasion, they pay with cash but thats on them to do. I have a fee if a check bounces. To this date, Ive never had that happen.

                              I accept checks here as well. I have been stuck with 3 bad checks in all of the yrs. providing daycare. All of them have paid my sufficient funds fee, and it is cash from there on out.

                                My bank offers it. Check your banks website, it is an application and typically requires "pre-approval".
