Spot-Holding Frustration

[Leanna]

Update!

So I thought about (ok, ok I stewed!) this all day yesterday and at naptime I crunched some numbers. I thought about how mom said **she thought** she could just put down a deposit and then pay for the days she brought the baby over the summer (she is writing policies now ).

I decided I do want to try to keep the baby if possible so at pick-up I offered the following to mom:
- Put down a 2 week deposit by June 1.
- Drop down to "part-time enrollment" payment over the summer with a three-day payment minimum and no attendance requirement
- Can apply the deposit to her first two weeks back in the Fall.
- One week tuition-free for my vacation (standard for all of my families)
- Guaranteed spot in the Fall

Well, when I gave mom the paper yesterday at pick-up I said think about it and talk to DCD about it and let me know your decision. She didn't seem happy AT ALL.

She arrived this morning and said that they looked it over and decided that (sigh) "they will figure it out and make it work somehow" (sigh)

The funny thing is, when you calculate it all out, my "special deal" is less than $200 cheaper than just paying the full time rate!

Make what work!? :confused: Your original policy for FT enrollment or a deposit and 3 day minimum?

I was wondering too, are they going to take her out and figure something else out? Or figure out how to pay for the summer and keep her there?

They are keeping her here...by "figure it out and make it work" she meant figure out how to afford the payments so she can stay here. I felt bad for a millisecond until I remembered that this is their problem, not mine. I love the baby, but I love living in a house more.
