Hi Everyone! I'm new to the forum, but have been here many times to read other posts and have gotten some great advice from them! I am a Group Family Daycare Owner from Long Island.
We just got a new family 2 weeks ago. At the time of registering DCG's Mom said that she would possibly go full time to keep her spot, but may need to start with part time. She is now part time and it was okay with us at the time, but now we have no more infant spots and we have turned away over 5 potentially full time families already. She is also reducing her already part time hours by picking her up 2 hours early today and not bringing her one day next week. We charge by the hour for part time care. Do we ask her to go full time or to find another provider? I feel guilty, as I have never termed a family or asked them to go full time before.
Also, DCG has a cold sore on her face that DCG's Mom says is not contagious, but upon online research I am seeing that it can be contagious. Does anyone know anything about cold sores? DCG is constantly putting all toys in her mouth and I am concerned about the other children. She is 14 months. Should I ask her Mom to keep her out of daycare until it heals? The cold sore seems to be getting worse by the day!
Any help with this family would be great! I don't know what to do! Thanks!
