Awkward decision...what would you do?

Do you not have room for both? I don't think there is anything wrong with changing your mind or having something else "come up". If these people are not starting until Jan. they do have time to find someone else, I wouldn't worry so much, just offer the deposit back and let them know you are sorry but you no longer have room for their child, let them know you will spread the word for them and give them a call if you hear of any providers in the area with openings. I always have to remind myself at the end of the day that "this is MY business" and I have to run it the best for ME, not my clients. Hard Pill to swallow for someone like me, but in the long run you don't want to regret not making the right choice, if you don't go with you r gut!
