Also people with kids tend to move over summer, so it's common time to be switching in and out of daycares.

+1 that's how we got our spot in daycare last summer, people moving away once the school year wrapped up or was close to wrapping up and switching daycares at that point.

Um, yeah, daycare is not school, and kids start year-round, based on when they were born.

I enroll my 2 year old in daycare starting in summer because I thought most kids would start in the fall (September). And, I was hoping that my kid would get a bit more attention. This daycare has fall semester, spring semester, and summer camp.

What a surprise, 10 out of 12 kids in his classroom are new. It was a bunch of crying & tears & not understanding the rules (including my boy) on their first day of daycare, and it was really a mess. It must be really hard for the 2 teachers to handle.
