Yeah unless you close all day, I don't see the problem with getting the full fee for the day. As long as I give notice I don't feel bad.

I agree with everyone else, don't discount.
If you do you might start hearing "We came 2 hours late today so we should get a discount..." or "We picked up 2 hours early so we should get a discount..." etc.Comment

I discount. I also charge a weekly fee. If I am open - they pay. If I am closed - they don't.
I feel that if I close 2 hours early, then the families have to make alternate arrangements for those two hours of care. I credit them for approx. how much my fees would be, if i charged hourly.Comment

It is not in my contract, but if I ever have to close early I always offer a discount. Some parents take it, but most don't.Comment

I opened 2 hours late one day, and I , too, do not charge for vacation days, but did not offer a discount. I had 2 families ask me if I was going to give a partial refund. I told them, sure, you pay me 115 a week for 50 hours (this was some years ago), so that's 2.30 an hour. Go ahead and take 4.60 off next week's payment if you must. That shut them up when they realized how little they actually pay for care.Comment
