Something most childcare providers have in common is the need to market and find new clients. I’ve talked about how to get those upcoming spots reserved before. Preparing for vacancies can be a proactive step in preventing a dip in childcare enrollment and income.
Most of us get that. Ironically what we might need a guide for when it’s a good idea to say YES and when we should likely say NO to a prospective client. So here is a short guide for making a decision about whether to accept that new family or pass. CHILDCARE ENROLLMENT

I think it is a good idea to have helpful guidelines when it comes to picking the children u will be caring for I have had a child that never been in childcare and was very babied and try to give her a chance but it just wasn’t working I had to let her go all she did was cry and nothing I did help her calm down I try to give ever child a chance to adjust I give it a few weeks I know children adjust in different times and not all them do good but I see that it’s not going to work I have to talk with parents and get them to understand when they sit and cry it causes me to stress and not able to do other things with the other children that have fun and do well I’m not able to do my class time or activities I have planned
I totally agree, Melinda. Sometimes it’s just not a good fit for the provider or the child. And it’s not always the best idea to force it. You did great by trying to allow the child to adjust in time, but sounds like it’s just not working out. The stress of a crying child can truly lead to burn-out. Thanks so much for your comment.
