[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, honestly, I directed a center for 7 years in DC and I never did this.  I knew when a child was moving to toddlers, leaving an infant space.  Whether YOU would get it I couldn't always tell, because I might have 20 people who needed care - and of course, the first person I offered it to might take it, or I might go through 19 people until I found someone who still needed childcare when I could offer it (usually 1 month before the space opened was when I could make the offer, but sometimes I didn't have a month because older kids would leave with less notice....)

But really, not all directors are this unorganized!  I knew the date each infant could move to toddlers, and the date each toddler could move to preschool - so that when a family gave notice their child was leaving school, I knew exactly what I could do and with whom.  And if I didn't have a baby old enough to move to toddlers, then I knew I'd have to go to the toddler waitlist (which was much shorter) Then I could communicate to new families.  [/quote]

Hmm, good to know.  Did your center move up based on age or developmental stages?  She said something about having to test the babies to see if they were ready to move to the next room.  Maybe they expected one to be ready but s/he's lagging behind in something?  I just don't understand how they don't get that parents need to make firm plans more than three days ahead of time![/quote]
