Bad start....

Thank you all for such wonderful advice once again!

I am hoping that my next one is going to work out! Otherwise, I may not be cut out for this business

Don't give up. The first year is so very difficult. There is a lot to learn. We've all heard about people who say 'I'll just take in a few kids to make some extra money'. They are not the caliber of daycare that we are striving to be. Luna, you are on this board asking advice because you want to be a topnotch, high quality childcare provider and you just keep letting parents know that, ok? If you were just taking it easy and for granted you wouldn't be working so hard and getting so stressed, but give yourself a break and make a plan and keep working toward it. I didn't think I was going to make it in my first year and now life is so good.
