I have decided to start downsizing my dc, I want to terminate the first one at the end of September (hopefully), then hopefully the next by next summer. I want only 4-5 here maybe even 3-4.
I've been tossing around what to put in the letter and this is what I've come up with, probably needs some tweeking so if so please offer some tweeks

Do you think 30 days is reasonable??

Dear XXX,

This letter is probably one of the hardest I've ever had to write in my whole time of doing daycare and I truly apologize for having to do this.
After many months of pondering things, I have made the decision to start scaling back my daycare, I am not closing just needing to cut back with a goal of keeping only 3-4 kids within the next year to year and a half.
It has been a hard choice to decide how and who I would terminate care for since I love every child here and don't want any of them to go. So my only fair option I could come up with would be to start with the last one enrolled and so on. I really hate doing this and I've dreaded this for awhile but this is something I need to do for myself and my family right now.
The last day of care will be August 29th, 2013. I totally understand if you find care sooner than this and decide to remove him sooner, I just ask for at least the required 2 weeks notice.
Again, I am so sorry for the inconvenience I have caused I hope you understand.
If you have any questions, concerns anything please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you
XXXXXX



How does this sound????
