On Dec 4th I gave two weeks written notice that Dec 18th would be the last day I would be using the DCP. She told me today that I have to pay for not only the two weeks I gave notice, but also the following two weeks since she would have been closed anyways.

What am I missing? Why would I pay for services I'm not getting and I'm not requesting the spot be held? I've arranged for other day care.

The part that really has me irked is that I made a conscious decision to give notice four weeks later because I wanted her to have six more weeks of income rather than just two. She has open spots so I know I wasn't using a spot she needed for someone else.

It's too late now, but should I have given notice Nov 6th for a Nov 20th last date just to avoid this whole "You need to pay while I'm closed over Christmas" discussion?
