Treeholm, that was a realization that hit me last night....and I slept like a baby. This whole situation blows beyond the telling of it. But on the bright side, competition among parents will be fierce for these precious few spots. It might actually be good for business in some ways. And to those with school aged kids counting in the ratio, it might be worth looking into before and after care for them. It might make more financial sense to have them elsewhere so you can bring in the larger fees with the little ones. I think all the fees will go up, not just 1 yr olds. I was worried sick about my own situation, but as I sat and thought it through outside of the heat of the moment, I realized that we can absolutely work this out....those without small children anyway. At least, with the full day kindergarten, even those with young kids only have a few lean years to get through.
Of course I'm only looking at this from MY perspective. I don't have to ax any families...all the ages line up well. So long as no one leaves unexpectedly, we're cool for at least a year or 2. My kids are grown, so that's great. I feel horrible for the posts I'm reading about having to cut 2/3 of client base, thinking about putting off having another child because of the daycare.....awful and I'm so sorry for all of you. I'm simply looking at it from my own, completely self absorbed standpoint right now. While I feel badly for the parents left without care (and I really do feel for them), my main concern is that of my business and being able to keep a roof over my family's head.
