What should I do?

So sorry to hear about your husband's job. That sucks. And as if you need more stress on top of losing clients. Which, is my prediction, btw. Since they know you, know that you are willing to accommodate their hours and they are still planning to meet with the center, I think they already have 1 foot out your door already.

Is it possible they were "pushing" their hours to get you to put your foot down? Some people don't like to take the initiative but rather choose to manipulate you into doing it for them. It has happened to me.

First thing Mon. morning, start calling your waiting list. Set up appointments. If you keep it vague the fact that spaces are available, then you can be prepared for any scenario.

I have had several parents take their children out of my daycare in favor of a big center. And I have one family that has been with me for 10 years and another for 6! It takes all kinds. Good luck and try to get some sleep tonight.

Thanks for the advise!

There is hope in the long term. I have two lined up for July, and another possibility for September which is great. It's just what to do in the meantime, so yes, I will call my waiting list. I think what's bothering me most is the unknown and the head games.
