I need to offer a quality program, but I also need too meet bills come August; after 3 months of trying to fill a spot and loosing another in a month, I have no other options except to offer Saturdays also which I hate to do (I refuse to work 7 days again after 17 years and I already offer 6a-9p weekdays) - as a widowed empty nester, I have no option because I am still a minimum of 5 years before any SS bennies can be claimed. Things are tight when you specialize, but due to physical limitations (and no med insurance), no way can I take older kids anymore - it's under 2's or I sell everything and live on the road. I was screwed last Winter by loosing 2 babes early & my CC's were hit hard... I have to keep things paid at minimum just to float as it is
