Then when you register for the summer you can opt out of as many weeks as you want (as long as you are registering for a minimum of 2 weeks). Then they invoice you for the number of weeks you signed up for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874587 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:25:42 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 874587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are allowed 2 weeks or 10 days of "vacation" each year. They also let you change up your days for summer. He goes 5 days a week during the school year &amp; now that I'm off for the summer he only goes 2. We also had the option of him not going at all and saving his spot for the fall by paying the registration fee early.</p> <p>I'm surprised that so many daycares don't offer any "vacation"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874563 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:15:45 +0000 CarrieLouWho 874563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After you're there 6 months, you can take 2 weeks per calendar year at 1/2 price. It's not great, but I guess it's better than full price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874557 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:14:25 +0000 MarieJ 874557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know so many daycares did this. I don't have a problem paying it, because I know they still have to pay the teachers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874542 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:10:10 +0000 regberadaisy 874542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. We get x # vacation days per year but you have to request it two weeks in advance just like at your job. ;)</p> <p>I'd rather have sick days over vacation days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874531 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:06:39 +0000 swurlygurl 874531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pay when we take vacations, but we don't have to pay when she takes a vacation (it's an in-home daycare). It makes sense, she needs to be able to count on an income for financial planning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874510 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:57:40 +0000 skibobrown 874510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're allowed a few vacation weeks -- I think 3 maybe? For vacation weeks we only pay 1/2 of the normal tuition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874462 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:38:23 +0000 Bao 874462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: that's nice at least, I still didn't get that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874434 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:23:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 874434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hummusgirl: @Bao: there was one nanny job I worked, live in FT, that offered two weeks paid vacation and sick time. Every other family didn't pay me for their or my vacations. However, one family did pay me if I was supposed to come in and something came up where they didn't need me (sick child, change of plans etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874428 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:21:20 +0000 Bao 874428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hummusgirl: Yeah all the families I ever worked for still got paid. It really stressed me out when they would take time off because I wouldn't know what I was going to do. I already didn't get paid much to begin with, but that's another story ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874422 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:17:37 +0000 hummusgirl 874422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: @Mrs. Pen: That's terrible! We pay our nanny when we go on vacation and she has two weeks PTO per year. We're salaried employees so it's not like our jobs dock our pay, why would we dock hers? Like you said, bills to pay! Sorry to thread-jack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874417 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:15:33 +0000 purrpletulips 874417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The daycare we used was closed the week between Christmas and New Years but we had to pay for it anyhow. To make up for it we were given a week free of our choice. During the free "week" our daughter was still allowed to attend we just didn't have to pay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874395 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:06:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 874395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you pay weekly, ours allows for a week off with no tuition. But if you are monthly, there isn't any discount. I think its to make up for some months having more weeks, because the monthly rate is just 4 weekly payments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874392 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:05:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 874392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: haha same here!!!</p> <p>wow I didn't know this about daycares! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874387 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:00:48 +0000 keiki_mama 874387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep--my daycare does the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874381 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:56:44 +0000 autumnlove 874381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have to pay but we got a credit for a missed month when LO had pneumonia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874380 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:56:38 +0000 irene 874380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We'll be away for a week on vacation, I asked and they said we have to pay full price for the entire week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874379 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:56:34 +0000 yoursilverlining 874379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we pay for her space, whether she uses it or not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874375 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:55:16 +0000 KT326 874375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its pretty standard to have to pay. They still have to pay their teachers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874371 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:54:23 +0000 Bao 874371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The daycare I worked in was like this. I wish it were like that when I was a nanny though! They would take vacations and I wouldn't get paid, it sucked because I still had bills and a stomach to feed while they were at the beach. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874368 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:51:04 +0000 RLCeigh 874368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are allowed 2 vacation weeks per year- but we still pay 1/2 the cost for the week. Since they still have to pay the teachers I get it.<br /> I'm thankful for the small savings!<br /> Although for my week off in August, I'm considering paying the full week and having a day or 2 to myself. We always use one week at Christmas time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874367 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:50:47 +0000 Bluebonnet 874367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - most daycares are this way. They have to have the same number of teachers there even if your child stays home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874366 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:50:31 +0000 DillonLion 874366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Haha, I like to think so!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-los-daycare-still-require-you-to-pay-for-a-week-when-lo-wont-be-there#post-874365 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:50:22 +0000 mamabolt 874365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we pay for 51 weeks a year.
