[Read more…] about How To Get Ready To Reopen Your Childcare [INFOGRAPHIC]We all have so many questions right now. Like when will this be over? Will our businesses survive? How will I get through this financially? But I’ll bet you are also wondering if you could have done anything to protect your childcare income during a crisis like this. Especially if you have had to close your business because of it. Was there a childcare contract clause that would have addressed this? Well, today I’m going to try to answer that question.
With all the schools closed, stay at home orders in place throughout the country and parents giving notice to providers, you might be wondering what would happen if you had to close your childcare due to the Coronavirus.
Everything seems to be up in the air with no real timeline for when things will come down. Today I want to not only give you hope, but also some real things you can do if you need to close your childcare.
As I write this, the world is in the crisis of dealing with a worldwide pandemic. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread and from day to day childcare providers all over the world are having to make decisions regarding their businesses.

It’s sort of a running joke with providers. Most of us don’t think parents read our childcare contract. At least they don’t act like they’ve read it. And to be honest, in general, they probably don’t. Or at least not every page of it. So I wondered is it possible to get parents to read our childcare contracts?
Here’s the thing, it’s not just parents who don’t read contracts. Most people avoid reading every paragraph and verse of long documents. Now I know what you’re saying (or at least thinking), parents really need to read my contract. How else are they going to understand how we do things around here?
I hear ya!
Which is why today I thought I would give you some concrete ways to get all that great info in your childcare contract, handbook or policies into the minds of your clients. Here’s how to get parents to read your childcare contract.
