I would stick to my policy and give them their two weeks notice. Just let a potential family know when the start date would be before signing them on. I wouldn’t sit around in limbo if I had someone to fill the spot, that is unreasonable for them to expect that.

I have a family who just informed me they are dropping down to part time once mom has her baby in January. Also had a family inform me their child will be attending Montessori next September. Unfortunately no one is looking for care right now and there are 50 providers on every block, otherwise I would replace.
