In about another week the phone will start ringing off the hook with parents desperate for their child to find a space for Sept. They have gone under the assumption child would have a space in daycare centre from the waitlist and now can't wait any longer. Only to find they have a space by Oct. This happens with the school age programs too as families move over the summer or decide to leave child at the caregivers home or decide on a nanny after all or grandma, etc - all the usual excuses. It happens every year it seems.
