Well it sounds like the parents did that.
With the same kid... same scenario... what makes the difference if the provider tells him or the parents tell him. If the provider decides he's moving on then he's moving on. If the parents decide he's moving on then he's moving on.
Why is it cruel if the provider does it but not a problem if the parents do it?
It is wrong because the provider would be intentionally hurting the child's feeling by telling him he is BEING REPLACED.
It is wrong because this is THEIR CHILD, THEIR MONEY, THEIR PEROGATIVE to take THEIR child and THEIR money elsewhere.
I honestly think that YOU are being disagreeable here, JUST to be disagreeable. And YOU are wrong.....course you would never admit that
Honestly, Nan, if YOUR child was in daycare and you had issues with your provider and decided to move your child, would you NOT allow your child to meet the potential new provider before signing....or would you just NOT care about your own child's feelings and do what you want......wait, I probably already know the answer to that one....
