What also might happen is it creates a greater short term turnover. Child goes to home daycare until they can get in a center in 6 months as opposed to a year.
Do you mean parents using hdc from 18mths to 2 years than switching? This could happen but there's less centres that start at 2 years. Most seem to be 3 months or 18 months....which is an odd gap. To curb this for any situation, I think hdcp's who have a long term clause have the right idea to help minimize this from happening
