[quote=Anonymous]Another person here who is having trouble for the first time in almost 6 years with CC's new system.  And we are an easy gig (one older child,  in a very desirable area; 5 APs, no rematches, etc etc;  I've got to watch out for the lazies.. usually interviewing those out of the mix is my biggest problem).  This year, connection requests go ignored for over a week.... out of the box rejections for "age of kids" or "number of kids" without even getting a chance to get to know each other.   It's like a big traffic jam is being created because of an overwhelming excess of options for the APs. I'm all for APs having choices and not feeling  that they are "held" and can't talk to more than one family, as I think that makes for a good match (I always made sure to release my holds so that they were sure we were a match), but now it's gone so far in the other direction, parties don't even get to know each other at all.

It's terrible.  I have come to the conclusion that I will keep looking for a bit, but WILL NOT change my very specific criteria.  If my  next AP is out there somewhere in the next few months, great.  If not, we will try a different form of childcare.  I love my LCC and am not switching agencies.  I would rather put my energy into finding a plan B child care option than try to navigate a different AP company or matching system.  [/quote]
