Hello,
I recently found out that the daycare we were using was not registered in the state that we live, therefore it is illegal.
Does anyone know if our contract is still valid?
Thanks for the help!

Most states still allow people to provide childcare services regardless of being registered with the state. The state just limits the number of children they can watch if they aren't registered.
Why do you think it would be illegal?
This contract is an agreement between two people...you and your provider. You entered into it without cohersion, therefore, I think it is still valid.

First I would think you need to find out if it is illegal in your state.

IMO one thing that might make your contract invalid would be if the provider claimed to be licensed by the state in the contract and he/she was not in fact licensed.
The best way to find our for sure is to ask an attorney.

I was told by the board that regulates daycare that if they are not registered, then they are illegal.
I am setting up an appointment with an attorney to determine what I should do. I don't want to pay and then try to write it off on my taxes at the end of the year and find out that I cannot because they were not a valid business.

Are you in the US?
