Wow. Is there at least some capping ? I've never been late to childcare but there are so many reasons I could have been that your $15 are frightening me. I'm not even sure that late fees where I am are above 1 or 2€ per 15 minutes.


At a few bucks per hour, people could leave their kids until 9pm and go out for a quick dinner and movie. That'd be the cheapest babysitting in town.

As said elsewhere, I don't think it's ever enforced, just as backup in case they have someone repeatedly taking advantage of them.

I've often arrived in the last 3-5 minutes. If you are late, staff are forced to hang around, cleaners potentially can't complete their job, etc.
