I have recently received a request from an acquaintance to put her child on a waiting list for whenever I may have an open spot. I am not sure how to deal with this as I am almost certain that they will not be a right fit for my daycare.

I am not sure if I should approach the subject now, basically trying to inform them that I prefer not taking children of people I know OR if I should reply that I will notify them when a spot is available and we could proceed with an interview at that time.

I really don't like both options above.... so maybe someone has an other option to suggest!?

I feel flattered that they really want to come to my daycare, however in no way could I accept a family with whom I do not "click" or see like a good fit with us.
