I have had a family for about 7 months. Their previous provider closed her daycare before their infant was born and left the family in a bind to find care.

The oldest child was set to enroll in Kindergarten and continue coming to my house for daycare. I have been bringing this up for months and have gotten very vague responses. When I asked if they were going to the open house a couple of weeks ago, I also did not get a response.

I found out the previous provider has moved, to a house close to them, and is re-opening her daycare. I just got a two week notice that they are leaving my daycare and going back to her daycare. I am in shock, but now realize this was all figured out before, thus the vague responses about kindergarten enrollment.

I don't think they had any intention of staying here long term, and were waiting for her location to change to re enroll their kids there. I believe things happen for a reason, but feel betrayed. Yuck, I adore the kids and this is hard!
