Thank you for your replies and suggestions. Just to clarify, the child has started somewhere else and has been there for nearly 1 month. I had provided her with info on finding a daycare and answered all her questions about my daycare and norms. When she initially asked about coming here, I did not have a spot and informed her that I would not have one for quite a while. But now she is showing interest in waiting, and that is the twist that I was not expecting.
