Parent E-Mailed Me A New List Of Concerns

You HAVE to make sure that they actually get the PNP though. If they say they never found it on the porch or that it got ruined where you put it, again, more drama with them. I make parents pick up items and then sign saying that they received everything and that no further contact is necessary.

I have not had a chance to read all of the responses......


I have in my policy that when termed, you have 30days to pick up your childs stuff. You must schedule an appointment in advance. If you do not pick up within 30 days, all items will become my property and may be donated to the goodwill or charity of choice.

If the parents call to pick up the stuff, I type up a quick list of what is being returned to them and the condition of the item. I ask them to sign it. If they refuse to sign it, I will write down, refused to sign. I then stick it in their file.

Me too. It's ALWAYS good policy to have parents sign off on EVERYTHING throughout your business relationship so nothing come back and bite you in the...
this includes a termination form that has a section stating their belongings were returned and in the shape they were left with you.
If they don't sign just write on the form "refused to sign", you sign and date it, have a witness sign and date it and then keep it in their file. *I have a witness here when a termed family comes for their belongings if they have been threatening or generally unprofessional in any manner.

Holy moly!

First off, if little precious is unhappy in daycare, she might be better off with a nanny at home. Some kids don't do well in a daycare setting.

Unfortunately, no matter where little precious attends daycare or school, her parents will still be jerks. Don't worry. This will be apparent to everyone they ever do business with. If they hassle you at school, wait til you have an audience and loudly vocalize that you have asked them repeatedly to leave you alone.

"Please don't continue to harass me. This is exactly the behavior that resulted in terminating my daycare service for your family! Please leave me alone. I do not want to involve the police, but my next step is pressing a harassment charge!"

Hopefully you will get lucky and they will be too shamed to harass you.
