Agreed. Definitely don't give in to the preschool family - you can't fill the empty space, and what about days when there's no school?

The summer one is up to you. If it's a really good family and child you don't want to lose you could offer PT care, especially if you don't think you'll fill the spot. But if you can easily fill the spot and/or it's a difficult family or child I'd tell them to pay FT or leave and hope there's a spot to come back to in the fall.
