My son is 1 year old and he got kicked out wierd right he's only 1 year old. The reason they said was he was crying to long supposably and he would make the other kids cry. He a baby baby's cry for feeding diaper and they want to be hold walk they don't just cry because they want to it's because he's asking for something. He only goes every Tuesday 8am-12pm 4 hours and he's new this was his 3rd time going but more like 2 times and they got put up with him because the 3rd time he was only ther for 40 minutes and they called me to pick him up. So they basically took 25 for enrollment fee 35$ each tuesday and there was 2 that he went all 8am-12pm so $90 plus 25$ they received $115 and kicked me out the 3rd Tuesday ? Can I sue is this is this fair ? They didn't even try seems to me but what can I do help !
A baby that cries uncontrollably for 45 minutes is excruciating for everyone to deal with. I understand it's your baby and yes babies cry for many reasons but you can't expect the provider to be able to manage just your child while caring for the others. I don't hold babies all day long and walk the floor with them just so they don't cry.
I expect babies at 1 yr old to be able to play solo for short periods of time and to not want to be held all day. It's just not possible in group care.
The length of time your child is in care also plays a role in how long it will take for them to acclimate to the new environment and it sounds like the short days that aren't consecutive is difficult for him to get used to.
As a provider that's been in business for over 2 decades I know I can confidently decide if a child is going to adjust well or not at all just by spending a couple hours with them.
Its also not uncommon for infants as young as 8 weeks old to be terminated from care so age really has nothing to do with it. It really has more to do with adjusting.
Also you can sue your child care for not having a green building but what is it you are really wanting? Them to keep your baby enrolled? If so, why would you want your child to attend a care environment that isn't right for him or an environment that terminated?
If you are suing for money....I guess I don't see anywhere that you didn't get the services you paid for except the early pick up day...but that is probably only a couple dollars and not worth suing for. If you are simply suing because it's not fair...well..sorry but life isn't fair.
It often times take several daycare experiences and several interviews and tours and even more trial days/weeks to find the perfect fit for child care services so my advice is to continue searching for the right fit for your child. There is one out there...you just have to do the leg work and ask the right questions and you WILL find one that works well for both the provider, you and your son.
