    Judy, I agree somewhat. Unfortunately, there are times that it's not as easy as terming and filling a new spot. I need my income and there are times that there are no parents to fill the empty spot.

    I can understand that. I went through that last year. It was tough to find an older child because i already had enough toddlers.

    But i can understand what Judy is saying. I recognized that i needed to be more assertive and business minded, especially with one particular parent, who was the type to ask for special requests/exceptions for her kid- i put a stop to that. Now i make no special exceptions. I know had to start putting my foot down and sticking to my policies especially regarding late pick ups and fees, late pay, and strictly enforcing contracts. i told it like it was and they all continued to send their children to me, but doesn't mean it's free of issues.
