    I would also not feel right. I would tell just this one family that is yet to start. I would be honest and say I still hope you will start your child with me as I am looking forward to having him/her in my group but I totally understand if you rather look elsewhere as I will only be available for 6mths. Don't tell her to go but give the choice to her. You never know they may come on for 6mths. Maybe another daycare they want is not available till the time you close and therefor it work out for all parties. However obviously be prepare that she will not start and look elsewhere. But I too would feel bad letting them start knowing I'm only open for 6 Mths. As for the other families....I'd give my contract notice. Mine is 2wks but I'd probably give them 3-4 wks. Good luck! And know whatever you decide, it will all work out.....try not to stress to much.....your growing a new little one in you.
