And I bet you get an oh and ah and a "oh just what I always wanted, how thoughtful" kind of response from her. Sad though as you say.

How much notice parents give when they could have given more is one of the banes of our lives in the sense that we need to advertise so early. One of the things I just put in my contract is that teachers must give me a two week deposit for the first two weeks of September non refundable by June 1 or I advertise the space - did this in response to how many of you are having issues with teachers. So far my luck with them had been good but it has also been quite a few years since I have had one as I put them off as long as I can hoping to fill the space with someone else -and I am a teacher by training too but they so don't gel with what I want for my daycare now that my own kids are grown.
