Hmmm ~ having been in the field and dealing with subsidy for decades ~ that mama you are waiting on is going to be a PITA .... sorry but subsidized daycare spots are a PREIMUM and everyone KNOWS that so if they REALLY were motivated to have a spot in your program would be jumping through hoops to get their subsidy in order and get into your program!

Not to sound stereotypical or judgmental but that is the only way I can say this .... there are two types of people who use subsidy ... those who feel ENTITLED to it and think they can take their sweet ass time filling out paper work on their end, can forget to fill stuff out and think that the rest of us should just WAIT and when we do not and they loose their subsidy or loose the spot than they BITCH because it is everyone elses fault that they can no not work or go to school .... you do not WANT that kind of client in your program because they end up loosing their subsidy with no warning and you get NO NOTICE that the kid is going to be done!

Than there are those who are truly appreciative of the fact we have a system such as this ... they do everything BEFORE being asked to ensure they do not loose their subisdy or their space because they are truly GRATEFUL for the assistance ... your family you just interviewed sounds like this type ... I would be telling my advisor they are the better match and you do not CARE what the first client ends up wanting you WANT the other client!!!!
