    I really don't know. It's certainly peculiar. I'm wondering if they might be 'high maintenance parents' and a tad overprotective, which can be difficult to deal with. Yes, although they're paying, it doesn't really help the little girl integrate. It almost sounds like they might be having second thoughts? Maybe you should let them know that their window for the 'transition week' is closing next week and that if they wish to utilize it, then they should do so. Otherwise, you will have to move forward to the full time schedule or re post the opening.

    I'm curious, why is Grandma going to be present? That seems odd to me....or is that normal and I've just never had it happen? I would think that would make the transition even worse and prolong the whole process.

    I think I'd be inclined to start considering moving on.....if you can fill the spot of course.

    I am considering moving on. I've posted a ad. Grandma is present because with the little kids, I do two days of one hour where the child comes to play with their parent present so they become comfortable i nthe environment. And it's Grandma that is currently taking care of her, as the other two parents work
