Due to some issues with a particular dc family, I typed up a letter reiterating one of my policies. I gave it to all of the families as some of the parents work together. The letter is to be signed, dated & returned to me by a specific date. Right above where the parents sign it says "We/I, the undersigned, understand, accept, and agree to follow the aforementioned policy. We/I, the undersigned, understand that refusing/neglecting to return this letter may result in termination of child care for our/my child(ren)." I handed it out this morning.
At p/u one family had the letter signed & dated. They also told me how much they appreciate me & there isn't enough "thank you's" in the world to convey their gratitude for caring for their child. One family asked a few questions to clarify. Last family-aka issue family.
Dcp: I'm not signing that letter. It doesn't work for me.
Me: So your last day will be *date signed letter is due*?
*chirp, chirp, chirp*
Dcp: *sigh-turns to child (infant)* Looks like mommy will have to find somewhere else for you to go. *looks at me*
Me: Let me know if your last day will be before *date signed letter is due* so I can get his things together.
*chirp, chirp, chirp*
I go start washing dishes in the kitchen and dcp leaves w/o another word.
