It really makes you feel undervalued...
It does and I find everything comes down to dollars and cents with most parents. They nickel and dime you to death. I offer 1/2 fees for those who want to pull their kids out for summer. Those on mat leave have to pay for at least 2 days a week care to guarantee a spot when they return. Its their choice if they want to send their child for those 2 days. The ones who just pull their child out and 'hope' you have a spot I would never take back into care even if I did have a spot available. I would feel used. Just my 2 cents though
