He said that I am a grant based program, that is all. He said according to my grant I could not charge, and I explained my previous grant (21st CCLC) I knew that I could not charge, however my current grant (2A city grant) did allow for it and I had talked to his supervisor (the actual grant writer) early in fall to confirm that. I have moved slow on adding new fee programs because I keep on asking for support. At this point all my fall programs were full and on wait lists so it was obvious we needed to put in more.
My licensed childcare is tuition based and always has been, the grant that I had previously and the new one pay for additional programs such as sports teams, art classes, etc. So I have always been a 'blended' site.
You know we have check ins every 2 weeks and we talk about things like how I could put more detail in my goal tracker and my problem employee but don't get into my actual programming very much. We need to spend a LOT of time apparently, his last site actually charged fees so how is it I have been asking for months for support and don't have it? And if he really thought I couldn't charge why haven't we talked about this before now,
Hey my staff person just texted to see if I was okay, I sent a text telling them to do some lesson planning and that my assistant was in charge. That feels nice,
