    Yeah, it was surprising to say the least! I understand feeling disappointed that she didn't "get a chance to be considered", but all said and done I'm glad I got to see those true colours. I feel like everything would be a battle, almost like she already thought that I worked for HER. Imagine if I needed a day off? YIKES! My husband read it and was like "thank goodness you canceled!".

    Actually what it sounds like is the mom was thinking in her mind that it worked like applying for a job that you got a list of candidates, interviewed them and then picked someone for the job or in this case a child for you daycare. Maybe mom has been having trouble getting from the application to the chosen for an interview stage or up against jobs that have been filled internally by who you know. It sure sounds like it from her over reaction.

    At the same time nothing you did was wrong and really would she have wanted to waste her time interviewing if there was no chance of getting the position.

A few tips...

If you encounter a daycare provider with out-of-date openings / spaces, click on the button right above the currently listed openings to report it!
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
