You didnt do anything wrong by sending home an ill child or insisting a bill be paid. Stop texting them or communicating in a way that gets you upset. Prepare a letter that itemizes fees due, outlines what items you have (if there is anything left at your daycare that belongs to DCB), what they must do regarding daycare assistance by what date. Finish with a statement that "Your cooperation is necessary by (date) otherwise further actions will be taken". If they don't show up tomorrow, send the letter by certified mail. If they do not respond by your deadline, then we will help you take the next step which will include small claims court or collections probably.

Dont get all upset and crying. I know it is hard not too but right now your focus should be getting your money and refusing any other contact with this family unless it is to hand you the money. They are drama and are not following your contract and throwing mini fits when they dont get their way. It is too late to change anything in the past or try and repair things now. Just remove all the emotions from the situation, get back on track business-wise and be thankful that these people are gone for good. Now you learned your lesson and know how important it is to stick to your contract from the first day, no exceptions.
