This is not the same situation but let me tell you what happened when I enrolled a family with only meeting the mom:
Mom never told dad baby was in daycare, mom always spent money without telling dad and told dad that baby was with grandma during the day
She even tried to hide purchases at my house!
I said " no" of course
then one day the police called me and said I was passing bad checks for the ____________ family and I said " um, no those are daycare payments" and I offered to show the contract, enrollment forms etc. then I immediately called mom and she got yelled at, physically abused over this by dad.
I ended up terming because I didn't want any more mess and last I knew she went from daycare to daycare for years and then called me begging me but I was full
so yea, definitely both parents need to be present now!
lesson learned
