If you have a leftover piece or even a piece from under the couch or something it can be replaced. I know because our puppy chewed a hole in our carpet. Hubby cut a square around the hole and removed it then glued a new square in. It looks great and has lasted for years.

We are planning on moving soon and selling the house so i probably shoulnt pull a piece from under the couch but maybe the closet would work.

I would glue the edges until you can repair it.

Sadly, it's just the cost of doing daycare. I can guarantee the parents aren't going to replace your carpet.

Kids do stupid things when you turn your back.

Yes, you wouldn't even have to worry about a perfect match if you can cut a piece from an area where it won't show as much, like back in a corner or under a piece of furniture and then have your dh or someone glue it in for you. You could possibly get an old carpet sample from a carpet store that matches your carpet close enough not to stand out so that you could patch in where you cut the carpet out and it won't matter if it is not a perfect match cause it is in a place where it will not be seen. When you patch it in though be careful that the nap of the carpet lays the same or it will show.

I just saw your post about selling soon. Yeah, then I would take a piece out of the closet and then fix the hole in the closet carpet with a piece from a carpet sample from a store that is a close match if you can.

The parents wouldn't buy a whole new carpet, but they might agree to pay for someone to come in and patch it for you.

This is what I would do.

Curious, how big is the spot?

The spot is a little bigger than a fifty cent piece so not huge but still

What did the parent say when they picked up?

That's big enough! I would not be happy. Be one thing from a toddler, but a 6 yr old? no way. What did mom/dad say?

Not much as soon as the parents walked in the child started crying hysticaly because they know that if they get in trouble at daycare they get in more trouble at home. I am waiting to see what or if they say anything Monday

Maybe you could take a picture of it and email it to the parents and tell them what their daughter did. That way you don't have to be interrupted by the child. Sometimes it's easier to discuss a problem that way too if you're nervous about the conversation.

The child's parents would be paying to repair or replace the carpet. I address this in my handbook, and they sign an agreement to pay for intentional damage.

Same as this in my contract. Wear and tear or accidental breakage is fine. Stuff done intentionally is on the parents
