...for various reasons our village pre-school was declared full at easter this year until September 2008 and there are only a couple of places left before January 2009. There's a waiting list for any extra places in the meantime.
Have had to send dd1 to another pre-school in order to increase her sessions.
Am unhappy and undecided at how to respond to the situation for dd2 who will go to pre-school in 2008 and school in Sept 2010.
I love our local pre-school but it seems unfair that new children are being accepted at the pre-school in preference to existing attendees being allowed to increase their sessions and the parents are not being
Am I being unreasonable or naive? To get what we wanted I should have applied in April 2007 for all my dd2's pre-school sessions (ie. from 2008-2010). I have heard of a mum applying for more sessions than she needs just so she gets to choose when she can increase her child's sessions.
Am thinking of asking committee to change application forms so you can specify sessions for multiple years ie. 2 sessions increasing to 5 just before school.
I'd also like to see the waiting list so I now how likely it is that I might get an extra session for dd1. The Pre-School manager manages all the membership and waiting list and I've previously hesitated at harrassing the poor woman who's already overloaded.
How do other pre-schools organise membership and waiting lists?
