Thank you to all the posters! Great advice and glad I'm thinking the same way as most of you.
As for the first family, I've pretty much prepared myself that I'm losing them once I let them know they have to pay full rate through the summer. Our local school district offers child care just through the school year. It's just a matter of if there's an available spot for them. And that's fine if that's what they choose. I have a couple families on my waiting list so hopefully they still need care.
The second family, except for the fact they asked for a special rate they are a great family and hopefully they will stay and pay full rate. I do think they will. they have told me on many occasions they are happy here. Their son receives speech therapy which this preschool programs offers. I am concerned about the transition from preschool back to daycare but I'm praying I can find a way to make it work. We will see.
