Did I make the wrong decision???
Hi Everyone,
So, last week I had one of my daycare parents tell me that they can't do 3 days per week for their two children and then move to 4 days a week beginning in January as it was already discussed when they started in September and when they signed the contract. Its for financial reasons I was told and they wanted to do just 2 days a week. I also only have one other part time family right now being 2 days a week as well for their child. Well, financially I can't do that either so I told the family that they have to stick to what was originally agreed upon when they signed the contract or I would have start advertising again and so yesterday they let me know that they can't do that and are done in two weeks :(. The other family I have part time I had also asked to put in one mroe day a week because I can't do it financially with just 2 days a week and she said she would get back to me, haven't heard anything back yet.
In the mean time I have put up an advertisement and have two interviews on Thursday, fingers crossed. I jsut hope that something works out and that the other part tiem family doesn't leave too, because then I could have NO daycare children :(.
Did I make the right decision in asking the families to stick with what they signed on for in the contract and adding in a day because financially I couldn't do it anymore??
Thanks!
