Kicked Out and Not Refunded!

[Willow]

Certainly the provider should have let you know to check for lice. However, I don't see how this is any different than if a child in daycare had had strep, etc. Say your child came down with it - would you expect the provider to refund your $$$$ simply b/c your child got it?! I do think she should have notified you & warned you but I think you are being a bit extreme in saying you shouldn't have to pay b/c your child came down with it. I am not seeing how it is any different than any other illness & I have dealt with it in my own daycare setting.

That's not at all why she wants her money back. It has nothing to do with the days kiddo was out or why.

Parent paid the entire month's care in advance. Her daughter only attended four days before the **provider** terminated the contract effective immediately, not the mother.

Provider told mom she'd refund her money, and now won't.


It's not like this parent is asking for some sort of reimbursement for all the hassle she went through, she's simply frustrated at having a liar for a provider.

Can't blame her.

I would take her to court and fight for that money back. She ended the contract immediately. Therefore she is forfeiting the 2 weeks notice and pay.

I agree with Willow-

You tried talking with this provider and she brushed you off. She could have said there has been outbreak of lice in the daycare and not given any names. Yes you can put two and two together and figure out who is is most likely but if parents don't know, how can they check thier kids heads more frequent then the normal checking to make sure it does not spread.

Let us know how you make out-

Hi
My child was recently kicked out their daycare because I called the state in too. The daycare had a credit to my account also but their demanding payment instead...ummm no..
I'll gladly go to court and tell the judge why I reported them. Yes i planned on pulling my child out but wanted to at least give them two weeks notice so i wouldn't get full bill.

If something was so bad you would call the state in why would you leave your child another two weeks? If my child was in a situation that was dangerous enough for me to make a report, my child would never go back. Is money worth more than your child? If someone calls the state on me, I won't allow the child back either. You are then a liability to me.

Why DID you report them? Would you like to share your whole story? I don't think that anyone could help you here without knowing the details (unless you just came here to vent?).

Yes, but the new "I reported them but was going to do two weeks notice to not loose any money" was today.

Honestly, you over reacted by calling in the health department. Lice are not actually a health related issue. Any parent of a child in daycare, sports or school should be checking their child's head regularly. Movie theaters are actually a big place to pick up lice. Many states don't require daycares or schools to notify parents of lice as it violates the privacy of the child with lice. Yes lice are gross and creepy but they are a part of life when you have kids. Lice is a vicious circle and even when you think you have a handle on it they can and do return. Just because a daycare notifies parents doesn't mean your child is going to get off scott free. Not every parent will bother to check heads and if your child is lice free at first they could still pick them up from other children later. You will probably have to go to small claims to try to get back your money.

and no judge is going to award you ANYTHING when you're original intent was to leave your child somewhere that you felt was so unsafe the state needed to be called in.


When I term immediately I typically give refunds for ANY unused time. I can (and do) fill the space immediately and I just want to be DONE at that point.

Bingo!
