This is long - but I needed to fill in a backstory to get the advice -
I have a new family that I enrolled this summer to start Sept. 19th (wed). Mom and dad were seperated and to be divorced the week before boy was starting. I only met with mom and boy since mom was the one working and looking for childcare. She paid registration and 1st weeks payment (my requirement to hold space longer than 2 weeks).
Forward to Monday(17th). I get an email that dad wants to meet me before DCB can come Wednesday. (DCD doesn't really want DCB in DC but he only has him one day that DCB is scheduled here). I schedule for Monday night and dad emails be 15 minutes before to tell me he can't come and can we reschedule for Tuesday. I normally don't do interviews during daycare hours but I had no time Tuesday night so I told him to come at the end of the day when kids were leaving (30 minutes before I close).
DCD and DCB come and meet with me, DCB plays with the two kids left here and my daughter (9y who is helping me so I can interview him while the kids play). Tuesday night I get an email that DCD isn't sure if DCB should come Wed. because he wanted to keep him home due to it being his day with him. Another reason because he and DCB may have been exposed to Whooping cough and they have had some cold symptoms the last few days.
So I email him and tell him per contract he can keep him on his days but payment still remains the same and that if he felt DCB too ill to attend Wed. then why did he bring him to my house on Tuesday and expose my daughter, other kids/myself. (DCK's all left a few minutes after DCB got here but my DD played with him for about 20 minutes while I talked with DCD). I told him he needed to get them both tested and to keep me updated. It seems like mom didn't know about the exposure and thought DCB just had a small cold.
(1) If DCB doesn't come the rest of the week should they still pay for next week since he was suppose to start Wed. or would her prepayment count for next week when he is offcially here? I'm going back and forth on this - contract says you pay even if your not here BUT he didn't come one day yet? I already bought food, etc for this week and was expecting him though and feel like I've wasted too much after hours time dealing with this family this week.
(2) Do I term if he has whooping cough and my DD gets it? I am so angry he brought DCB and himself here knowing this info. I think he was just using it as a way to keep DCB home BUT it backfired on him.
