My kids love daycare but they will take time with their own parents any day of the week over coming to daycare. AS IT SHOULD BE.
Kids don't have "friendships" they way we do. They can be away from each other for a long time and within fifteen seconds of being back together they are the same as they would be one day after being away from each other.
I agree i think the BEST place for a child is with their parents at all possible times. I do understand your concern for teh family and If I had a family like this that was going to be effected I think I would offer to hold the spot open for a few weeks and then maybe at a reduced rate payable when possible if it is a prolonged issue. I think I might offer that the girl come one day a week if you think they child would benifite greatly. I have a few that can go weeks with out seeing me and jump right back in and others that have an issue ofter a long weekend! You will need to do what is right for you and your program.
