I recently got back into licensed childcare. I just terminated a state paid parent for not paying her co-pay. She lied to me and told me she was going to get my money and never returned. What do you guys do for parents that don't pay? Do you take them to small claims court or let it go? Also, is there a website that daycare providers use to report clients for not paying? I know that there are rental history checks and credit checks but is there someplace I should be reporting this parent for other providers to be on the lookout? Is there any resource out there for me to check on parents that come over to do tours to see if they have stiffed other daycares? I have a feeling that this woman has jumped from daycare to daycare doing this.
