DCG's parents listing house and not telling me?

Is there a chance that they're just upgrading within the same area? Not likely, but it could happen.

I think it sucks that you're losing a family, but I wouldn't share that information with my daycare provider until someone actually purchased my home, either. I'd be worried that they'd drop me from care before I could find another in my new neighbourhood. Honestly, I can see both sides of this, and this is why most of us have a "giving notice" portion of our contract. It'd be nice if a family could give us as much notice as possible before leaving our daycare, but really, if I ask for 2 weeks' notice, I can't be upset when I get two weeks' notice.

Omigosh, I have to say it, sorry, but she is deceitful and she doesn't value or respect you. You said you are advertising, so fill the space and whether they want to stay or not is not the point. YOU should decide when it's time to let go of clients you CANNOT trust, and this is one of them.

I have a family who are just thinking of selling their home and moving to another part of the city but they have already told me about it and assured me that they are staying with me because they were concerned that I would see the For Sale sign and worry. My daughter lives on the same street as them and I would have been worried. But I also would have asked them immedately when I found out, so I'm very happy that they value me enough to tell me before the fact. YOU deserve families like that too!

Dcm arrived tonight and asked to speak with me. Dcg was last to be picked up so it was fine. She apologized profusely to me. Said they should have told me sooner but didn't expect their house to sell in 5 days and that its been a whirlwind week. She also said that as much as they want to keep dcg in my daycare that they won't be able to. Their last day is June 28 so I now have tons of time to advertise and hopefully fill the spot. Funny thing is that dcm says that the new couple moving in is a young couple and mom is on mat leave. Dcm has referred me and it sounds like this new family will be giving me a call.
