DCM Gets Upset When I Take On New Kids:(((

[Ariana]

What a crazy person!!

Dear DCM

You are right; caring for other kids while I have your busy little guy in care is tough. I can see how supervising other kids would be problematic.

For that reason, when DCB leaves for the summer, I will not be re-enrolling him in the Fall. I believe your observations are correct and he would do much better with one on one care I would definitely recommend hiring a nanny.

I am so glad there are parents like you that are willing to do what is best for their child.

Sincerely,

Provider

love it
That's what I'd go with.

"new mom, please accept my apologies for the other moms behavior. Her enrollment is only until school is out."

As for the control mom, I would just elect to not have room when she came calling.
Let that child go.

I give clients a heads up that we are expecting a new friend on any given week so they are aware. Mostly for the cohesiveness of the group than anything.

I tell them the approximate age and name of the child and that's it. If they want more detailed information they will need to ask the other parent directly.

My response would be a combination of BC, Nannyde and Laundrymom.

And definitely what Jackandjill says. Ask her if she's thinking about not re-enrolling in the fall.
"It seems like each time I enroll a new child you're concerned that I won't be able to care for for them all properly. Your lack of confidence in my abilities is a bit discouraging. First and foremost this is my business and the way that I make an income so my goal is to run at full capacity when able. Is that a concern to you? Are you planning on finding alternative child care arrangements if I do?"

"i am sorry, that is against confidentiality policies, i am sure you understand. Have a great night."

do not hold her spot without payment for the summer. High horses are expensive.

best quote ever!

I agree with the above
