Those of you who may have thought about closing daycare:
What do you do when you think you have really reached the end of your rope and are ready to quit the daycare business? What did you do next? What other carreers did you look at?
I think I am done with childcare. I do love the kids and I do love my job but it's just too much lately. I have grown a backbone here thanks to the support and termed in the past but I can't term everyone. I do have 1 client that is a blessing. Kind, pays on time, follows the handbook 100% BUT I still have other clients that just don't give a damn about my policies or the kids for that matter. I could term yes but I can't live on 1 client and problem is I keep getting these clients in that seem ok then they show true colors after so many months. Now I have yet another disease in the daycare due to parents negecting to seek medical assistance as I suggested. It's just becomming exhausting really and I am done. BUT where do I go from here? I have done this for 6 years. What now?
TIA for any advise.
