Batya33 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks!! Luckily the woman and I have a friend in common and that friend in common gave me an excellent review ! We work together. And that is so what it's all about especially in daycare and schools. Word of mouth, personal word of mouth. I found my son's perfect pre-k because I saw a mom at a weekly activity our kids attended for a couple of weeks running, found her knowledgeable and forthcoming and contacted the school she suggested because -just like your daycare -it was new, just opened and she told me I'd better get my name on the list ASAP. Sure, social media and other types of reviews can help too but that personal parent to parent review is a gem. And you deserve it! Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphim Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 I am so so excited for tomorrow’s interview. If it is a slam dunk all my worries and troubles are over . Even my joy is coming back ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphim Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 I am so nervous about tomorrow when I shouldn’t be . It is just that this will make my life if the mom signs those two kids up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmFCA Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 You can't control the mom, and you can control you. You know the value you would bring to her life and her family - because of that value, you BELIEVE another parent will fill her shoes if she doesn't sign up tomorrow. So she won't make or break your future... it will work out however its supposed to. Good luck to you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batya33 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I would just force yourself to put it off your radar -so many factors/what ifs. It's a positive sign that you are still in the running, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeynow Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Congratulations on opening day! I'm with IamFCA on that approach, I tell myself things like "if not her, then someone even better..." (If not her, it's because she's not THE one, and the better one is on their way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I think it's weird that they are sharing this much detail with you about their decision. Do you think they're trying to get you to offer a better financial deal?

Do you think they're trying to get you to offer a better financial deal? Nope. I can’t offer a better deal. There is no lower than $35 for all day believe me . You have to remember I live in a very small little town with very connected communities people talk . This is not big city life at all . And they come from an even smaller community than this one . Plus we have a mutual friend . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmFCA Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I suggest meditation to enhance the degree to which you convey peace and dependability. Smaller town - little change, little risk, most variables are known, most decisions can feel deliberate. So, its breathe, give them space, respect their need for control and predictability, deploy grace in their time of uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphim Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Well, my kiddo is here and we are both sleepy. I was sleeping sooooooo soundly all snuggled like a bug in a rug when my alarm went off. Scared me to death. I am just going to go about my day and not think about the coming result .

Plus we have a mutual friend . I never even suggested you should. And I wouldn't. I mused that she seems to be sharing TMI about her decision and perhaps she was looking for a lower price. That is all I wrote -not a thing about how you should react to that. FWIW I wouldn't lower my price but that's irrelevant. I am sorry you interpreted what I wrote in that way.

She just knew she wasn’t going to get a reduction because that is the going rate and it is the lowest going rate for home daycare. People are just chatty because it’s a small town .
