The DCM made her payment on time. She handed the cash to me as I was helping her dcg to say good bye and place backpack in her cubbie. I misplace my cell phone every time I touch it. I don't want to do that with payments being handed to me. But I definitley will be asking about payments if they are not paid on time.I used to hate it. Now I just come out and ask for my check if they don't offer it!
I like the IDEA of a drop box, but I would be worried about opening up after work on Friday to find that some parents had "forgotten"
it was pay day. And then I'd have to chase them for it which is more difficult that just asking for it in the first place!
And what happens if a parents says "I put it in the box" when they didn't. They may say you lost in and refuse to give a replacement so you can find it etc.....gives them stalling time. They can show up with a late check on Monday claiming they don't know what happened...because they put it in the basket........it must be YOUR fault......I love my job!Comment

childcarepay is really easy to use. I use it along with MMK.
You can chose who pays. It's only $1.00 per transaction and you can pay it or you can charge the parents the fee..
If i were you, I would really read all of the information on it. As it does have a few draw backs. One of them is that it takes a full 3 business days to be deposited into your account and that means that payments would need to be paid monday before 3 pm to be deposited into your acct by friday morning.
I have all of my parents pay monthly and I cover the fee.
read all of the FAQ on it...Comment

I get the parents to send E-money transfers. I love it, goes right to my GMail account, I open it into my account and the monies are in my account no processing time.
Each transaction costs the parents $1

isn't this childcare pay kind of similar to Paypal only just for child care???
I've thought of offering my parents the option to use Paypal but there are the fees attached and I don't want to have to check online to make sure they paid, etc. and then have to wait for the money to hit my account. I had one who paid thru her bank where I received a paper check from the bank and it was late EVERY SINGLE WEEK!!!
I much prefer receiving that check by 5pm on Friday when as long as I get it to my bank by 8pm Friday night, I get $300 avail immediately and the rest avail Sat. morning. I like my money for the weekend, LOL!!!
I did get the Square device and will offer it to parents starting in Sept. but I don't see any of them wanting to pay the 3% fee (about $5/week for them).Comment

I know its only for daycare - but I guess my question is isn't it the same type of service where parent logs in, pays daycare provider w/small fee, payment goes to provider, provider then has to transfer to their account taking a few days??? That's how paypal works - is that not how this other service works??Comment

This goes directly into my bank account after it has been processed. It does take 3 business days to post and there is a $1 fee per transaction.
I really enjoy it as long as the parents pay on time.Comment

I have some parents who use childcarepay. The rest pay by check. I bought an unfinished box with a small clasp on the front from Michaels for about $3.00 and stained it. Cut a slot in the top for the checks and wrote "Payments" on top. It sits right next to my sigh in sheet. The only parent that does not use it is the one who usually pays me in cash. I prefer that she hand that to me.Comment

I just have an envelope push-pinned to my wall by the door. Parents still hand me the check/cash, but it goes straight in there. I lost two checks in two months (later found them though) and tacked that up there to prevent the loss now. They stay there until I'm heading out the door to the bank.Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment
