Fees, Payments, and Business Practices
At Just Like Home, I do not charge by the hour. I sell you a “slot” for childcare. This means that you pick the days and times you need childcare and I hold that spot open for you. You will be charged a flat rate for this every two weeks and must pay the full amount, even if your child missed any days. There are no exceptions to this rule!
My rates are as follows:
I charge $10.00 per half day (4 or less hours) and anytime over 4 hours is as follows:
Full Day Infants: $25.00
Full Day Over two: $22.00
Full Day (School age on non school days) $22.00
Half Day (School age) $15.00
Half Day Preschool Age: $10.00 (A child who only comes to preschool)
There is also a $25.00 per month activity fee as well as a $50.00 per child enrollment fee that is due yearly at time of re-enrollment. I realize with the economy, childcare can get expensive. We do offer a sibling discount for families with more than one child. Please ask me about that.
All private pay clients will be charged twice monthly. Payments are due on the 15th and the 30th of the month. All state pay clients will be charged monthly, with co-pays being due no later than the 10th of each month. All payments are to be paid on the due date. There may be a $10.00 late fee that will apply if needed. No exceptions!
If I receive a check that bounces, you will be charged an additional $30.00 and all future payments will be in cash or money order only.
I will review my rates yearly to decide at that time if they will change or stay the same. I will do this as per the date on your contract.
