How/When Do You Guys Bill For DC?

Pay before you play here too - NO EXCEPTIONS! Parents pay on the 1st of each service month for the whole month of care. Should the 1st fall on a weekend, parents are to pay on the Friday immediately proceeding the weekend. If children are absent on the 1st of the month, parents are still required to drop off payment for the 1st. Every day that payment is late a $10 late fee is required (cash only). On the third day of payment being late, the child is not accepted into the daycare until the month's care fee and late fees are paid in full.
I only give monthly receipts if requested (nobody ever has), otherwise I give a tax receipt at the end of each year of their total child care fees paid.

My parents pay the last day of the month for the following month (for preschool). I have a few families that need to pay weekly, so they pay the Friday before the week. No pay, no stay!

I get paid on Friday for the upcoming week. If their last day of care in a week is not Friday then they pay for the upcoming week on their last day of care for that week.

I do not give out bills or monthly receipts. I just do one receipt a year.

This is exactly what I do!! However, I have one family that pays me 4 weeks ahead of time and she sometimes forgets when payment is due so I will invoice her the day before it's due as a kind reminder.

Friday for the following week. If Friday is not their last day of care for the week then it is due Thursday or whatever the last day of care is the week previous.

I cash all checks on Saturday. Parents are paid for the next week. This has helped me catch a few bad checks before I was out two weeks of care.

I do not bill weekly. I only proivide yr end statements. Assistance clients get a text each Thursday of their copay for the next Friday and also get a bill on that Friday if any due is remaining (from what the county could not/would not pay). That amount is due before care Monday so I know before I do care they are good for it.

Monthly on the 1st.

I use mmk regilously..

I email everything..

I send them a bill at the end of the month for the month following. It is their choice how they pay it.

If they pay monthly, they get a 5% discount and I email them the rcpt upon payment.

If they pay weekly, no discount and i do not give them a rcpt until the end of the month when the account is paid in full.

all payments are made one month in advance or one week in advance.

when to bill

All my families have been with me so long they pay every friday and I havent had any trouble with it, if someone forgets its a $15 a day lc and I count everyday til they pay and they arent allowed back to care monday if they dont bring a check. New clients I have them pay A $50 enrollment fee and 1 week tuition before they start, that way your never shorted if they decide to bail.
