    Refresh my memory ~ ss this the client you posted about the other day who has been paying a hugely discounted rate for their two children compared to all your other families who you signed on at the normal in your area once you realized you were undercharging as a newbie. The clients who have already cost you a loss of income of $1000's of dollars over the past year and a bit because they were paying so much less than everyone else for the same service just cause they were your 'first' clients ~ the clients who you STILL did not raise their rates up to market value in an effort to be FAIR since they were your first clients and you wanted to be loyal, who in an effort to be FAIR you allowed them a compromise of increasing the fees over increments rather than all at once and so forth?

    Cause if it is IMO you have done enough to be NICE and it is time to be BUSINESS MINDED ... personally YES I would be looking for clients to replace them if they are not willing to pay the market value for your area and there is demand for care because they obviously do not value you if they are nickle and diming you on the 'norm' for your area!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

A few tips...

If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
