You have the power to transform your Business

with your words.

When I opened my Child Care Center, it didn’t take long for me to discover that I hated supervising employees. In fact, I despised it so much that I spoke about it quite often.

Talking about my hate for supervising employees only brought me more difficulties as an employer and it resulted in the following:

  • Meetings about strife amongst employees
  • Employees called off work frequently
  •  Dealing with poor attitudes
  •  High Turnover
  •  Employees walking off the job and many other issues

I think you get the point. My words created years of frustrations for me as an employer and my situation did not change until I changed my words about being an employer.

Your words can also affect your relationship with your parents. If you complain about your families all the time, you just may be complaining your business a way. Try to find the good in every situation, if there is nothing good about dealing with the family; discontinue the relationship.

However, as I developed my leadership skills and changed my words, I was a happier Business Owner and things began to change in my Business.

What about you? Are you happy with your Child Care Business? What have you been speaking over your business lately? Take a moment to reflect….

I want to encourage you to choose your words carefully, because your business will only rise to the words that you speak.

Hand Written or Computer Generated Receipts?

receipt bookWhen parents pay you for child care services, they will expect to receive a receipt for tax purposes in a timely manner.

Furthermore, it is vital that you are diligent about collecting payments on time, issuing receipts for payments and documenting your business income.

There are two ways that you can issue payment receipts and they are as follows:

  • Purchase a receipt book for less than $3.00 at your local office supply store and give parents hand written receipts for their weekly or monthly child care payments
  • If you enter your tuition payments into a financial software, you can also issue computerized receipts

 

I have implemented both methods of issuing receipts and I strongly recommend that you use the method that works best for you.

Be sure to include the dates of service that the family is paying for, the child’s name, parents name and write your business name on the receipt. Also, if you are using a receipt book, be sure to purchase a receipt book that contains a carbon copy.

A computerized receipt is more professional looking, however, please note that you may use more printer ink.  Collecting payments and issuing receipts, is a vital part of your tuition collection process.

Tip: When issuing receipts, be sure to attach a copy of your tuition policy, to be sure that parents are well informed of your Tuition Policies. For more Tuition Collection tips, sign-up for the 5-Day Tuition Policy make-over eCourse.
