I received a call this morning from a very excited parent telling me that her daughter has been accepted into the school near me (Not her 'home' school due to zoning) and will be able to continue care with me for years to come!
I thought I was going to cry
The thought of losing this family and their two girls was devastating to me and their parents.
I'm ECSTATIC!
Terrific news !!!!!
Yay!! I'm happy for you too....
It's nice to hear some good stories to remind us why we love doing this! :laugh:
So is that before & after school care or every other day? I'm happy that you are happy.
I have a little girl heading to JK in Sept. and I thought I would have a full-time space coming available but her Mom wants her to stay with me every other day for 2 more years, JK & SK. I was completely torn for a while because this little girl was sheer hell when she was a baby but thanks to hard work is now a wonderful little girl. Starting over to train a new family just makes me tired so I might keep her. I'm just not positive yet. But I understand how you feel.
:thumbsup: Congrats! It's nice to hear the good stories!
She'll be attending everyday in the afternoon as this school doesn't have full day kindergarten. So, essential it is before and after school careQuote:

But she is just too quite for my group of kids and not the best fit for their personalities. We need someone with more 'umph' in their step.
Daycare facility opened across the street from their new house so it made sense for them.
I secretly think that mom just didn't 'love' me.
Good news all around then!! What a lovely day... :)
Great news on the first family ... sorry to be loosing the second but it sounds like that might be best over all!

Well I'm not going to cry about it.
Just have to figure out if I WANT to fill the spot. SERIOUS HARD CORE, DRILL SERGEANT, XRAY EYE type screening will be going on to make it worth my while.
