Wanting to change contract - WWYD?

[Spixie33]

I also prefer Alphagetti's version of the letter. It sounds nicer

I would not ASK the parents though about adding another child. The letter is good enough if you feel you have to do something and that the 3 kid rule is why they chose your daycare over another one.

personally I would have verbally just said "good news.....as of march we will have another little guy/girl coming. I think that 'Mary' (their child's name) will really enjoy it. The other group is getting a bit older now and I think the time is right to add someone to our mix."

I didn't ask any parents about addding a new one. I had the same group for over a year and then this January I added an infant and I just told the parents in the newsletter that we would have a new little friend coming and then brought it up in positive context in conversation to the parents. One of the moms seemed a little hesitant (wrinkled brow and nose whenever we talked about it) but now she oohs and ahhhs at the infant just like everyone else and is fine with it. I think she just wanted to know that things were going to continue as is and I would still focus on all the kids.
