Mez, have you spoken with the Director of your centre? What have they said to you? Our director has told us we are a full centre with waiting lists and make a good profit so should not have any problems staying open. That hasn't stopped my friend from putting her DD on the waiting list for every centre within cooee AND enrolling at another centre to start in Feb. She figures if we close in Jan she has a month annual leave to take and then DD can start at the new place. We are riding it out at this point... although I am looking into the child care centre at my work (I work for a huge Public Hospital) as a backup... but like you, I don't really want to move DD from her friends or the carers she knows.
