Contracts and Policies in the COVID Era

Date: September 15, 2020
Presented by: Tom Copeland
Time: 5:30 PM PST
CEUs offered: 0.1 credit

Whether you were closed or not so far this year, COVID-19 has disrupted the lives of family child care providers, your own family and the families in your care.

Because of COVID-19, your contract and policies may need revising:

  • Can you charge parents when you are closed because of a pandemic?
  • If you are open, can you give a discount to some parents who choose not to bring their child, but not to other parents?
  • Is is wise to have parents sign a liability waiver to protect you against a lawsuit?

In addition, this webinar will help you communicate with parents about your business so that they will follow your contract and policies. This webinar will also cover:

  • The key elements of all contracts
  • What to include in your policies
  • What to put in your contract so parents will never leave owing you money
