if you are cheap compared to other area daycares they will stay longer because it is harder to find cheap care. If you are average or expensive they will most likely switch soon. If they are teacher kids they will most likely stay.
This. Care in our area is hard to find, and I ended up giving contractually obligated notice. If they found new care sooner, you can't really blame them for switching sooner.
I sent home a letter and told them in person.
