Here is my current crew-
1/ 4.5 yo, is moving on to kindergarten out of district the first week of Sept. Space is already filled for the week following.
1/ almost 2yo FT staying on through summer
2 kids both, 3 yo's part time that alternate days for a FT space, both staying on.
1/2yo FT teacher family that wants a space in sept. I have a teacher policy that they can attend or pay the rate for 3 days to hold it with a contract and deposit for Sept. Sept contract and deposit is all in. Days are set.
2 teacher families leaving mid-end of June, they are building a house in the district the parents teach, so they will be home for summer and find a preschool closer in fall (over 45 minutes away/one way). They both attended with three day policy last summer.
Both SA children are staying on as before and after school kids with the park camp again this summer. It worked out great last year and both parents and I loved the set up. (keeping SA without the hassle of ALL DAY during summer). I also send my own youngest two sa children. I normally wouldn't NEED to fill all spaces, but without the additional SA income and then the cost of sending my own 2 SA, I have to stay full to make it work.
Family that took the space for Sept for my leaving kindergarten kid is a great fit. Deposit and contract done.
Now I have TWO spaces for June open. My interviews have been AWFUL. Here is the only interview out of 15 that hasn't been a run for the hills nightmare.
It's a sibling set, 18m and 3 1/2. Older child is potty trained. Parents were very nice and on board with policies, professional people, kids were awesome. They checked me out with licensing, asked great questions. They want a rotating schedule, M-W for 4 weeks and W-F for 4 weeks.
They are a referral from the illegal daycare I posted about. Licensing showed up while parents were there. She lost all clients but 2. (her sisters kids). They are VERY cautious about any new childcare arrangements. They found out some very bad situations and are openly nervous. The only reason they even considered another FCC is because of my DCM's referral.
What would even consider this? What would you charge? I let them know up front that FT trumps PT and that it's possible I wouldn't have the spaces in Sept. They are fine with even a temporary arrangement, as Dad is using all his paid time off and Mom is taking a leave of absence until they could make a decision about child care.
