                                                                         (Name of Child or Children)   

The Parent Agrees: 

1:    To pay the Provider the rate of $_______ per __________ (day, week, etc.) for child care services for their child/children.  This rate applies to regular school days during the school year.  A full day rate of $35.00 per day per child applies for days when child is not in school, such as summer, march break, and P.D. days.  This is the rate paid to reserve the child's placement, and will be paid in advance for the agreed upon days per week.  This reservation shall stay in effect each week until the contract is renegotiated at the termination/renewal date of the contract.

   To pay the provider in advance, on a regular schedule as agreed upon by both parties.
Payment may be made in advance on each Friday to reserve the following week of care.  If you are not scheduled to be attending care on Friday, you may make arrangements to pay in for the next week’s care on the last day of the week you regularly attend.  For example, if you regularly attend Thursdays, but not Fridays, you may pay for the next week’s care on Thursdays. 

Provider agrees to make receipts available to parents after each calendar year.  At parent’s request, provider may produce receipts on an alternate schedule.  As childcare receipts usually include provider’s Social Insurance Number, parent agrees to keep this receipt and the provider’s Social Insurance Number confidential.  This number is not to be used for any purposes other than to report parent’s childcare expenses when parent files income tax returns to the Canadian Revenue Agency.  Use of provider’s Social Insurance Number for personal gain, spam, identity theft, or any other purposes other than income tax will constitute fraud.
____________________________________________________________________________________________.

Year’s Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Civic Holiday, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day,  Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. 

4.    To pay an overtime rate of $5 per half hour when the child is picked up late, unless provider has waived late fees.

Parent will make a reasonable effort to contact provider (cell phone) if unexpectedly late.

If lateness results in provider incurring extra charges (for example, provider missed a scheduled appointment, workshop, or conference due to parent picking up child late), the parent will be responsible for these extra charges in lieu of late fee.

5.    To provide the following supplies for their child:  spare change of clothes, sweater, boots during rainy/snowy season, jacket for spring/fall, winter clothing such as coat, snow pants, winter hat, mittens for winter, and spare mittens should first pair become wet.  Supplies should be reasonable for each season.

6.    To have backup child care arranged in the event of an emergency or illness of the 

provider.  If you need alternate care, the provider will make a reasonable attempt to produce contact information for associate quality childcare providers in the area.
