Rejection Letter Help

[Misslexi]

So I recently had an interview last night for a 5 year old girl who would not be a good fit for my program. I'm not sure how to word it as I dont want her to think I am being discriminatory. She wants to leave a her current center to go to a smaller home daycare as she has been having behavioral problems such as biting, pinching, etc and mom thinks she will do better in a smaller environment. She also has food allergies and would want to bring her own food, whereas I'd rather provide the same food for all. Shes also starting kindergarten in the Fall. Too short term. My main issue is that I think she would be too much for me to handle with her aggressive behaviors, especially since I already have a child in my program who struggles with some behaviors as well. How do I word it? Short and sweet?

Today: "I still have a few more interviews to conduct. I will get back to you by the end of next week. Have a great weekend."

Next week: "Thank you so much for your interest and time. I enjoyed our visit and meeting your wonderful family. Unfortunately, I only had one available slot and have decided to enroll another family at this time. I wish you luck in your search for summer childcare and in your daughters' exciting new adventure in kindergarten."

I agree with you fully. That is simply too much work for such a small amount of income/time. It would also risk your current families enrollments.
