The provider told me that the deposit would pay for the last two weeks of care. When I gave my two weeks' notice, she changed her tune and said that since my daughter hadn't been there for 3 months, the deposit would NOT be applied toward the last two weeks. I have paid for all days of care (plus one paid holiday). My daughter only ended up attending for 3 or 4 days and I have paid this lady $360.

The problem is that she did not put anything in writing, and for my part I wasn't as proactive as I should have been about demanding to get it in writing. I guess this is a good cautionary tale! The written contract protects everybody involved.
