Yup

I have had to deal with that with being a RN. I had to make a decision about how many of my slots I could do special needs and what special needs I could take without it substantially altering the care of the other kids and the financial cost in staff time. In this small of a business even one special needs kid can end up taking the lions share of your staff time.

It's not just the care of the kids. You have SO much more time in parent conference, reporting, documenting, insurance, and adapting your program. It really really adds up quickly.
