Just When You Thought

[daycare]

there was no other way to be taken advantage of.

So as all of you know I have a family of two boys who gave their notice and they wiggled their way out of having to pay for their full last two weeks of care. Their last day is next tuesday.

Well, I offer a free parents night out once a month to all enrolled families. My Parents night out will be next friday night. Guess who signed up for it today!
Yup this family. Sign up sheet is next to our log book.

I have not yet, but am thinking about sending an email to them stating

We would love to have x and x attend the parents night out next friday night. The cost for non enrolled children is $10.00 per hour per child. Please let me know how many hours I should reserve for your kids.

thanks


There is no way I am giving them free parents night out....

[AfterSchoolMom]

Wow!!! Some people just have b*lls of steel, don't they?


Good for you for standing up for yourself!! I'm really curious to know how this will work out when they find out they won't be getting a free PNO.

[momma2girls]

Good for you!!! Do not give them the free night!!

[wdmmom]

I would just tell them that free night is only for children attending the daycare. Because they will no longer be enrolled in the daycare, they are ineligible for free night.

Sorry!

Seriously????? I can not believe it...the nerve of some people!

[Crystal]

nope. no way. they are no longer paying clients, they no longer qualify for specials.

[Blackcat31]

I'd give them the parents night out....just charge them what their last two weeks should have cost them. Upfront of course.

lmao......you have the best ideas..................hahahah

[momofboys]

Unbelieveable! I can't believe the nerve of some people. Let us know how you handle it/what you say. Maybe they think since they have been here part of the month they are entitled to it?!?! I don;t agree with that philosophy but possibly that is what they think. Either way, I'd love to hear how this works out. I would not give them a free date night either!

[Christian Mother]

What?!! Are you kiddin' me?

Nope, I agree with Crystal all the way. If they still try to have the kids over for the date night tell them you charge hourly for care. I want to hear also what happens. Lordy!!

How many of u offer this parent night out? I thought about that in the past but most of my parents already take advantage of me so why offer more. BUT when if I get some new kinder clients in care I would like to offer this. So please share, how many of u offer it? How often? How long?

Thanks!

Oh and yep she has super man balls for sure!

I offer Parent's Nights Out just about every Friday nite - but they're not free. I charge $20/family - but it's only for current daycare clients....and former clients that left in good standing and have an open invitation to come back for PNOs My dh works 5p-5a Fridays thru Sundays, so its a good way for me to make some easy extra $ when I'd otherwise probably be here by myself. I don't do much as far as activities for the evening, kids free-play, I serve dinner with a dessert (desserts are "special" here because I usually don't serve them), the kids change into pjs and then we watch a movie (again "special" because I have no screen time during the days) then any kids that are still here at the end of the movie either free-play-quiet-play (puzzles, crayons, etc) or fall asleep until their parents pick up.

I would never offer my time for free - and my clients have been thrilled to have the evening care available, and are very willing to pay.

As far as "daycare's" client that signed her kids up for after their last day, I would simply tell her no.

[Meyou]

OMG...the NERVE!! You are so lucky to be rid of that family!

[wdmmom]

I offer Parent's Night Out one Friday per month from 6pm to 10pm and charge $6 an hour. Current clients only.

[daycare]

So I sent the email to the DCM. Instead of an email, I got a text asking why she would be charged, if I wanted to do if for free I could, I was not going to be charging anyone else...........Holy cow

SO I thought about it and said well as of this Tuesday your children are no longer covered under my insurance so I can't have them attend. I don't take risks for free.

I wonder why this family feels that they should have the right to attend for free..
