Hi,
I am a licensed provider of a group home, and I just found out that I'm pregnant. This wasn't AT ALL expected. While I won't ever regret my children, I'm definitely feeling overwhelmed with concern and emotion.
I've put more than you can imagine into my daycare on all levels, including curriculum, activities, reporting, etc. It is going to be insanely hard for me if I have to close; as this really has turned into a huge passion. I have three assistants on-staff, so I don't foresee care, or even quality care, being a necessary issue, but I guess I'm wondering what other people think.?. Do parents usually run in fear from a daycare if the owner/provider is pregnant? How would you recommend the approach? With this being my third, I doubt I will be able to "hide it" for a large amount of time, nor would I want to as I feel that would be a form of lying.
I don't want to close off everything I've worked beyond hard for, and I feel like I'm a huge disappointment to others with this unexpected predicament, but it is what it is, and I can't just move on from it. Any thoughts out there would be greatly appreciative.
