I recently termed a family, one FT dcb/3 because of a lot of issues that combined were just too much. (no nap, not picking up when sick/trying to get around my illness policy, they were actively looking for a center prek, refused to help with his therapies and apraxia, etc).
I have ONE child on my waiting list that is PT but needs an additional 2 days, but do not want to give up a FT space for PT income.
I interviewed with a 19m old. girl, advanced for her age, can speak simple sentences and followed her mom's 2 step directions. She sat and listened while I read her a story. Parents are first timers, have a SA child who attends the school bef/aft program. Expressed interest in him coming here as well, which I politely declined (I have a SA opening but am allowing my last SA to age out and will not be replacing them).
6:30am-3:30pm M-F (I currently open at 7, and would charge them extra for this)
She gets a bottle at nap, which I said I would not do. They were ok with that.
Leaving current provider because she significantly raised her rates. When I asked what their rates were----they are what I would charge them. I did discuss it with them, their issue is apparently bc she contracted for one rate ($25/day and then 3 months later bumped them to $40/day).
Next interview:
would attend 4 days, understood that they would have to pay for 5 and could use it when wanted/needed.
newly turned 3yo boy, has attended a center daycare and is being bit (has 3 bite marks in various stages of healing right now!) Parents want to pull w.o the required notice, want him to start Monday.
6:15am-3:30pm- are asking that he come and lay down until 7:30ish, which wouldn't be a problem. Didn't love my rates, but love the program. Dad said "you get what you pay for" to the Mom.
Not potty trained, goes only when prompted. Discussed PT policy in depth, they were agreeable to it.
Takes 3 hour nap (brought sheet from daycare to 'prove' it)and want him to rest. Sleeps from 8:30p-5:45am.
Sweet kid, little rambunctious but that's 3yo boys for you.
I currently have 4.5yo girl (losing to K next fall) 3.5, 3.5, 3.5 (boys), 3.5 (girl-PT) almost 2 (girl-PT).
Who would you take? I am getting ZERO calls right now, and this is the sum total of my calls that turned into interviews from advertising like crazy for the last few weeks!

second the vote. Good age, good reason to leave previous care, etc.
) when I have a bef/after school opening. The SA child I have was with me from age 3 1/2- now 6. I have only been in business 7ish years.
