I totally get if the op had been off site and the male was alone with the kids and the parents hadn't been notified. But that wasn't the case.

I'd likely be prepared to term that family just for the simple fact they don't seem to trust you.

As a provider I commend you for putting he needs of your daycare children first and that shows because you had and paid for not one, but TWO assistance, even though you didn't have to. Kudos to you!!

My husband is my assistant and has occasionally been left alone with a few of the kids. But that's explained to parents from day one. None of my five daycare kids have a father or male role model in the picture and it DEFINATELY gives them that role model when he is here.

Op, you have to do what works best for you. But certainly you don't have to deal with that level of disrespect from this family.
