What would you do or say?

I think another issue here is if it is fair to the families who are leaving the agency to not know. Is there a way to put off the going private date till Dec as in just before the baby is born and it matters to numbers. That way if the move happens you wouldn't have misled the families.

I think that is my biggest dilemma with all of this play felt is that I feel bad for making them leave the agency and also for this one family who we agreed would send their oldest in order to hold the youngest space in September. I did all of this to try and simplify things and now if this happens it's all messed up. I think I would tell the family that I am holding the space for as soon as we find out (if we find out) and release her from our agreement ASAP and let her know that I am totally open to providing care until we leave but completely understand if they left sooner. I obviously would tell the other families once I knew everything as well. However, I'm not too concerned with them as much as I know they would stay until the end. One family is on mat leave and sends her daughter for the break and the other family will be ending school around then as well so the break would come naturally for her as well.

I'm totally at a loss for words because up until a handful of days ago everything was running smoothly and now all because of one conversation with someone my whole world is flipped upside down. I totally wish that I could back out of going private but we are literally 10 days away and everyone has already given their notices to the agency, filled out all of the contracts, paid deposits, new equipment has been purchased, etc. I feel like I'm too far past the point of backing out.
Maybe I'm just worrying for nothing and he won't get the job but I'm panicking a little bit.
