I will hold a spot with a deposit for up to 3 months. I don't like to do this but it is slim pickings here for kids. I would tell them that that is simply too far away for me to hold anything. I explain how I am limited in my numbers, therefore need to keep my spots full, etc. If they offered to pay full price for the spot to hold it until September, why yes I would Doubt that would happen, though.

I have found that openings for September fill fast so I wouldn't consider holding it for nothing. I'll be able to fill it then anyways.
