Two days into the following week, I was told I owed for that week per the contract. I reread the contract and all I saw was something about if the child wasn't there due to sickness. She wasn't sick and there was nothing there about bereavement. Is this technically legal on her part? If so, why?

The lady has breached her own contract more than I can count and I pay her for every sick day my child gets which is almost (but not every time) she goes to that babysitter. Can someone shed light on this please?
I am sorry for your loss. However it most likely does not matter why the child was not there. When i paid for daycare I paid no matter what. Now that i operate one I see why that is necessary. I know i charge what i need to in order to pay my employees, buy groceries, crafts, and other supplies. If it bothers you that much you can pay and cut your losses and move to another daycare. Just beware that they most likely have the same policies. Daycares cannot fill spots on the days that you are not there and lose money.
