Are you sure your son was not instigating behavior previous to the bites? As for the running and falling, that could happen to anyone watching a child, including yourself. Stuff happens, especially with this age. No provider will be able to guarantee that your child will never be hurt by another or hurt themselves. Perhaps re-evaluate your expectations and also, carefully read termination policies before agreeing to a child care arrangement.
well said.
.....wow, someone mustve missed their coffee this morning. If you are looking for legal advise, then consult a lawyer. We are all here to help each other, there is no reason to be rude. And yes, most centers have a clause on their contract that states they can cancel the contract with no notice, so double check your contract. If the contract says otherwise, then I would be contacting them to discuss. Another thing, I would question what the state investigators results were to the investigation - could it be that they terminated your contract to avoid the investigator digging into the matter more?
best of luck
