It stinks either way, but I don't see how several days/week can work for anyone, whereas FT with cuts at least works for the families who made it.
The criteria used by our provider to make cuts were full-time (no part-time anymore), good financial standing, essential workers, county employees, and families with special medical/developmental needs (as we have two nurses on staff FT). Some who just met the first two made it. Everyone else is now looking for other providers.
Do you know if they anticipate being able to offer more spots later, as things open up more? This is OP. I’m not sure if more spots will open up at our school later. My husband has a call set up with the director to ask.
NP here, we were just told about a similar process in our DC daycare-- they are talking lottery and waitlisting existing families. We were told that its driven by the 10 person limit in by DC licensing. I'd honestly prefer the 2 days rather than having enrollment cancelled altogether. I'd love some information if DC is considering increasing the 10 person group size-- VA is 12, etc.
