How would one just let the infants go?

change you program.

Dear DCP.

As of May 1, our program will no longer offer for children under 18 months of age. This was a difficult decision to have to make, however, felt that it was in the best interest of our preschool program. To help you in your search for new care I have attached the number for our counties resource and referral program.

We really wish you the best of luck

Your DCP

For what it is worth, when I began to stiffen my contract, I was strong to the clients faces but when they would leave, I would feel like I was going to pass out:: I took some harsh words, and I would always replay calmly "I understand your point of view and respect it, but this is how xxxx child care will run...feel free to give 2 weeks notice and look elsewhere"....over and over and over....Now I take pride in being known as the daycare with the lady who is ADAMANT about her contract Hang in there, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Have you tried planned overs? LOVE them! Just make to much dinner the night before and you have lunch! Or make lunch in the crockpot and keep it warm for dinner. I do this a ton, hubby being a truck driver it makes it easier for him to just take meals to heat up in the microwave. When I was on the truck a lot, I cooked each night but it is hard for him to drive all day then cook. So say he is home on Sunday and leaves on Monday, I cook several dinner meals on Sunday and then he has dinner on the road and I have pre cooked for DD and I and/or daycare here. It makes a huge day of cooking, but saves me a ton of work later.
