[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread of conversation is missing the point. If she just moved to the area, maybe getting away from a bad situation, she doesn't have friends here yet! She may not have any from the old life she wants (or is even safe) to have contact with. She doesn't yet know her neighbors! I don't know the names of any of my neighbors and I've lived there for 15 years. What if she is looking for a job and needs day care to get a job? Even if she just got a job, you really think a new coworker of a week or two will offer to be an emergency contact? Really? There are people in this world who do not have anyone else in their lives. They are managing life on their own. They are not deadbeats. they pay their bills. They manage to make ends meet. They do not have nor have ever had a "case worker". I have been there. I didn't have any kids but I have been truly on my own. These women just do it all on their own. But your "policy" says, "Tough, come back and apply for a day care opening after you've made some close friends". Really? [/quote]

You can talk to the daycare. I recently dropped my forms off and just admitted we didn’t have anyone and asked if I should put down my pediatrician’s office. The school office was fine with me leaving it blank and said I could always update it later if I found a neighbor or someone else. [/quote]
