add this paragraph to the letter you are giving her....

Your deposit will be applied to the first week of your final two weeks in care. It will cover services foe Monday through Friday April, 8-12. You will have a balance due for the week of April 15-19 in the amount of $_______.

Please note, the above balance is due IN FULL on ________ or no services will be provided after April 12.

Should I mention in the letter the free week no longer will be valid or just keep it out?

Sorry for all the questions but what if she decides to bring him next week which originally he's off the second week of the month? I already know she's going to try to use the week since I'm using the deposit for that week. Idk what to do now, should I allow dcb to come next week? :confused:

Dear DCM

This is written notice of my intent to discontinue our agreement for child care services.

I feel at this time that Billy requires far more care and attention that I am able to provide.

I have included the number to the local Child Care Resource & Referral to aid you in your search for new care arrangements.

The last day I am able to provide care for Billy is Friday April, xx, 2013

Sincerely

Provider.

Short and simple.

DCP got very upset with this notice I gave. DCP said he took my text as if dcb was too much for me and also stated dcb is not a disabled retard.

I said to him "I'm very sorry you took it different that wasn't my intention."

This has been a total nightmare, I'm now communicating via email with him. I will keep you all updated

Again thank you for everything

I would not be able to work with him again, after the dcd used the "R" word. I can't tolerate that word for any reason. What a dope.

If you are only providing care for 2 weeks and are keeping/requesting the funds to do so as a 2 week notice then yes, you need to take him.

Why did you TEXT a termination notice? Sorry, but IMO, that is really unprofessional. As the parent, I would be offended as well.....not only about the termination, but the way it was delivered.

Also, no offense Black Cat, but I would NEVER tell a parent that their child "requires far more care and attention that I am able to provide" It makes it sound as though you are incapable of providing adequate care, because you did not specify WHY you are unable to meet his needs.

But it is the truth. I have told parents this several times and never view it as a bad or negative thing.

I didn't elaborate on the "Why" for this poster because she ahs obviously been in constant communication with the parent about the troubles she is having with the child/behavior.

Some children simply are too much to handle or deal with in a group setting. Especially if they are aggressive, physical or super needy.

Doesn't mean the provider is a bad one but it does mean the provider IS unable to provide the child the level of care they require so I would expect the notice to come across that way. truthful.

I surely wouldn't lie to a parent. That doesn't help anyone.

I would gladly explain my statement to ANY parent that asked.

No way I am sugar coating things because a parent might not take it well.

I am an adult as are they.

I understand. I agree to let them know that their child is "too much", but I would include the how and why, even if they already know, simply because it is the final "termination" and I would want to be VERY specific.

Thanks for clarifying though, and double thanks for not being offended

I didnt text the 2-week notice. I wrote it up and emailed it to DCP

I actually did explain WHY I'm unable to care for dcb. One he's always sick which I had to enforce my policies I guess I was being too nice, two he was just diagnosed with asthma and required special treatment (nebulizer) and NO I rather not risk it sorry if I offend anyone but my decision has been made and cleared to parent. I have 5 more children that I need to care for and if I have to give the nubilizer treatment that would take too much of my time and will distract others. Of course there is other issues going on that I rather not discuss here.

If you are only providing care for 2 weeks and are keeping/requesting the funds to do so as a 2 week notice then yes, you need to take him.

But dcb was already scheduled to be off to begin with. I already have my menu and curriculum schedule for this week without him plus this is spring break vacation and we will be going on field trips all week. It's not recommended for dcb to be out since he has frequent ear infections.

Sorry, I misunderstood. You said the "DCP said he took my text as if dcb was too much for me" so I thought it was a text. Silly me
