Dropping a spot (as a parent)

Dropping a spot means giving another child the opportunity to "pick-up" a day that your child won't be in the classroom. You might drop a spot because your child is sick, family is visiting and your child won't be in the classroom, or perhaps you're going on vacation. 

In all of those cases (and more!) dropping a spot on HoppingIn is simple and straightforward. 

To drop a spot navigate to your dashboard and make sure that the child whose spot you're looking to drop is selected. Next, click "Drop a spot." 

At this point you're going to see a screen with a calendar. Select the dates from the calendar and the slot type that you want to "drop." You can select multiple dates and from this screen as well. 

When you've completed your selections click "Review Spots" to be taken to the review page. If you're happy with your selection click "Drop Spots" to submit your drop requests to the childcare. 

You'll notice that the drop requests will show as Pending when submitted. When the status of the dropped spots changed to Fulfilled then your spot has been sold!
