here is my current situation.
My DC is ages 18mon to 5 years not enrolled in school. I teach a preschool program 4 days a week with one day of full free explore play
I have 6 kids in my DC, one is mine
Most days i am at my cap, except monday and fridays I have 2 spots open due to a family that has two kid that come tue wed thur. BIG MISTAKE to take that schedule.
all the rest of the kids are full time
I have one family that has a baby 9 months old. when she signed up her child about 9 months ago, I told her sorry I teach so I don't do babies. She wanted her son to come here so bad that she enrolled her baby else where 35min out of her way to work.
Now, the family that i have that has two kids here is on kid number 3.
The other day DCM said are you ready for kid #3 to come here?? I was like waht the heck is she thinking...
the other mom of the infant talked about above caught wind of it and approached me about it. she said well if their new baby gets to come how are you going to teach? what will your apporach be and will my baby also be able to come now since you are taking babies???
Long story short, I have started to think about hiring an asst and increasing my lic. I have had ads running for months and no one to fill them. Of course it is my crazy offer of a monday and a friday schedule....who wants that??
I will have to do a lot to prepare for expansion of my DC and hire an asst. I will also have to spend a lot mroe money to cover the cost of an employee and everthing that goes along with that.
Do you guys think that i am crazy for doing this? would you do it?
I was thinking that if I hire an asst. I can have her take care of the babies and I will teach the class as usual. I wont take in any new babies, only those of current DCF should they have any more children. I would also have to take on two more toddlers for the preschool program to make a profit....
What do you guys think....I am really torn on what to do here....
