What would you do?

I totally agree in terms of holding fees or not holding spots long term but the thing that makes this complicated is that I don't technically have these spots open until September so I am not technically holding an empty spot.

in this case I would ask for deposits for both the spots and a start date. If she doesn't start on the start date that you agree too then she forfeits the deposits and the spots can be filled by someone else. If she can start on the start date great and the deposits go to the last two weeks of care. It would be just like any new client.
