Fees are charged for days the child is absent unless pre-arrangements such as parent’s vacation have
been made at least (e.g. 24 hrs. 1 week, etc.) in advance and there is
a written agreement, no fee will be charged. In no case may scheduled time for an enrolled child be
used for another child not enrolled in family child care home, unless by written agreement.
3.
Holidays, vacations, and days care will not be available: The family child care home will be closed for
the following holidays
(e.g. New
Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Christmas, all National Holidays, etc.) Fees are/are not charged for all
holidays listed above.
The family child care home will close for
during the year for family vacation of the Provider. The Provider will notify the parent(s) as early as
possible regarding the dates for this vacation, but in no case shall this notice be less than two weeks in
advance. Parents will/will not be charged when the Provider cannot provide care due to her vacation.
Although the Provider will try to be available for work each day there will be occasions when personal or
family illness or emergency make that impossible. The Provider will notify the parent(s) as early as
possible if he/she cannot provide care on a given day. It will be the Provider’s/parent’s responsibility to
obtain substitute care on such days. Parents will not be charged when the Provider cannot provide care.
4.
Trial Period: Your child’s adjustment is important to all of us. Therefore, a two-week trial period is
provided before arrangements for continued care become final. At the end of this period, the parent(s)
and provider will discuss how the child has adjusted to the new setting, realizing that this varies from
child to child. At this time, or during the course of the trial period, either party may terminate care upon
immediate notice. After the trial period, the provisions of Section 5, Termination and Withdrawal apply.
5.
Termination and Withdrawal: The Provider reserves the right to remove a child from the family child
care home after two weeks written notice to parent(s), if the Provider believes that continued care
might be detrimental to the child or to the program. If the Provider gives notice of termination, the
parent(s) may remove the child immediately, paying only for the days of care to that day. Parents must
give at least two weeks’ notice before they withdraw their child from the program. Parents will need to
pay (two weeks’ fees, one-week fee, etc.) if they do not provide such notice.
6.
Illness and Injury: Parents may not bring sick children to the child care home with fever, rash, vomiting,
diarrhea, or other symptoms of acute or contagious illness, the Provider will refuse to admit the child. A
child should be allowed to recover fully after an illness so other children in the group do not risk possible
exposure.
