I can see her getting upset and terminating me if my daughter continuously showed up sick or had to leave early for a fever and illnesses, but it was a first. And I have been going there for 10 months. No where in her contract does she state her termination policies. She told me on saturday that my daughters last day will be friday. And I told her shes being completely unprofessional and making decisions based on her emotions rather then being rational. She terminated my child because her son ended up in the ER, and she gave me a week "out of courtesy, so I could find another provider." I was able to have my aunts and relatives watch my daughter for the week as I went on numerous interviews and found someone else. But since she decided to terminate my daughter out of anger for "getting her son so sick he ended up in the er" I wasnt going to bring her back there, and because I didnt go back within the one week she gave me before my daughter was terminated she now wants me to pay her for the 2 weeks notice since "I pulled her before she was let go"
I dont know if shes right, or if her contract is void since I didnt have two weeks notice to write or letter, and it wasnt my choice to pull her from the daycare... It was my choice to pull her before her termination date.
Its frustrating because she told me shes doing it to keep the parents happy - which means she told them my daughter got all the kids sick, which is completely unprofessional as it is.
Does this help?
I replied to the other thread, but I wanted to say it a little more straightforward.
The ONLY way you owe her money for this week in question is if in her contract it says that the provider must provide the daycare family with 1 week notice with payment should she decide to cancel care. You would then still have to pay for that 1 week even if you decided not to send your daughter for that last week.
If she had nothing in her contract about her giving notice, you owe nothing.
If she had something about her giving a 2 week notice or any other time frame besides 1 week, then you also don't owe, because she voided her contract by only giving you a week.
