I know in my heart what is the right thing to do but I am so bad at making decisions or delivering bad news. I am more of a people pleaser Aahhhhhhh. Telling them no because of the 9 year old will also break my heart because I know this 9 yr old quite well and she is a sweetheart. I know she told her mom she only wants to come to my daycare.
When it rains it pours I tell ya.
Don't do it just to please the family. You telling them no because it is against the law should actually be seen as a positive by families in your care. Make your decision based on what is best for YOU and your business.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
