[quote=Anonymous]OP it sounds like you have options so it makes sense to wait. We paid 6 weeks to hold a spot for our DS, because it was our favorite AND we were unlikely to get off the waitlist in time anywhere else. It was worth it. With our second, it was trickier because a spot opened up at our son’s provider 4-5 months before we needed it. At ~$1500 per month, we couldn’t justify paying that much to hold a spot. Interestingly, the spot wasn’t filled immediately so we were like, ok, if we get down to 2 months let’s just pay it and be done. Of course, didn’t our provider fill it the week before then. :| Now we are scrambling and feeling a bit regretful, but will probably end up at a different in-home provider or nanny share until a spot opens up this summer. It’s a numbers game- demand > supply so providers have the upper hand.[/quote]
