I recently had this happen to me and I ended up taking the job and closing down my daycare. I just figured although the timing isn't perfect, I would probably not get this opportunity again. Since I...

Giraffe, I have a 5 seater choo choo wagon, no stroller.

Lou, I didn't receive your PM. Could you send it again?

Thank you Dodge.

Hello Ladies!

I have decided to close down my daycare at the end of November. My parents are all being notified this week. So, now I'm thinking about selling all the stuff off that I no longer...

Ugh...unfortunately, this is probably stemming from how things are at home. She knows if she pushes enough, her parents will cave. I would probably have a pretty frank discussion with the parents...

That sounds exciting! Would love to see the before/after pictures too!

That's awesome news! Glad things are going your way. Enjoy your weekend away!

You could also try putting in the postal code for the area you are going to be moving into on the search area on the main page here and see how many daycares are in that area.
I agree though, there...

I feel that if a child is potty trained, can dress themselves independently and are comfortable being away from mom and dad and ready to socalize with other children, then they are ready for...

Wow. That is a lot to take on. I'm wondering if you would consider replacing your dcb for one that is less "busy". It seems that he adds more stress to your already stressful life. Just something to...

You could use a plastic table cloth from the dollar store or the like underneath as it will get everywhere.
I would recommend not getting one that uses both water and sand together because you'll...

I pottied trained my son while running my daycare. I started because he was refusing to wear his diaper, he was 23 months. I was going to do it sooner, but it was Christmas. Anyways, I just put him...

Wow! Poor you and poor dcg. I hope things settle down soon. I'm sure you are doing all you can to help her transition, and I hope for your sake and hers, her parents are helping at home too.

Good...

Yes, even working at Shoppers, she should know her schedule at least two weeks in advance, so there is no reason why she is changing her schedule at the last minute on you.

Good luck!

Do you have a set schedule with her? For example Monday, Wednesday, Friday are until 4:15 and then Tuesday and Thursday is until 5:45pm or does it change depending on the week?
Do you have a set...

You could consider putting her into preschool or another home daycare that has children her age one or two days a week so that she can hang out with kids her own age. Also, since you said your...

I agree with using the playpen if you can't keep your full attention on her. Put her in there everytime you need to turn your back etc. Soon she will understand that being in there is no fun.

I would agree that her two weeks is over. It is not by the amount of days that they are present, but the weeks gone by. Maybe she misunderstood your contract, and thinks that if she didn't let the...

I wouldn't take it personally, although I know it is hard not to. I think he is just be expressing his dis-satisfaction at not being in control. You mentioned he complains about the food and naps,...

This is one of those questions that only you can truly answer. It depends on what you are comfortable with and what you can handle. All the children will be the same age, all at the same stages in...
