One of my daycare parents gave notice and her child's last day is Friday. I have two children leaving to go to school in September and I have a new baby starting then as well. In September, my numbers will look like this:
For two weeks each month I will have: 1 -12 mth old M,T,Th, F
1 - 2 yr old M-F but his Mom is pregnant and due in Jan
1 - 2 yr old M,W,Th,F
1 - 3.5 yr old M -F
For the other two weeks I will have the same children minus the 3.5 yr old.
The other problem is that the one that is leaving this week, MAY be coming back part time or full time at some point depending on what happens with her job.
So I guess my question is , do I advertise? or wait and see what happens. If I do advertise it will be for a Sept/Oct start. But on the other hand, I kinda want a lighter load because my new little one is a preemie and has some special care needs.
If you have read this far, thank you.
