Waiting List The waiting list is a list of parents who are interested in a future opening at Doodlebug Daycare. When a spot that doesn't have a holding deposit on it becomes open, I start calling parents on the waiting list to see if they are interested in having a parent interview or want to continue on the waiting list for a later opening. If care is not immediately needed when an opening becomes available, the holding spots information below applies. To get on the waiting list either call or email: your name, phone number, and the month/year you will be needing care. Holding Spots Many parents start searching for care weeks even months before actually needing care. Each spot in my daycare equals 1/4 of my income. Consider how losing 25% of your income for weeks or months would financially hurt your family. I can not afford to hold spots for free or to turn away potential families unless I know for sure the spot is filled. The holding deposit is how I determine a spot is truly filled when a family is not needing immediate care. Even though my family relies on my income, I don't think it is reasonable to ask parents to pay full rate to hold a spot. However, I do consider splitting the hardship of holding a spot 50/50 with the parents to be fair for both parties. Holding deposits do not go toward future childcare expenses. The deposit does guarantee your child a spot in the daycare. The holding deposit costs half the full-time rate ($80 per/week) |
