I wouldn't even give notice other than to say I won!
Sorry, but that's the truth.
This is my job and although I do like my job, if I didn't have to go, I wouldn't go.
I'd like to think I'd be kind enough to give a little notice but I gotta be honest...I probably wouldn't.
I highly doubt a single one of my daycare parents would give me notice....they'd probably just pay the final two weeks (with lottery winnings of course) and never look back.

Haha I love it!!! I honestly would do the same thing! I would say BYE BYE!
If you won the lotto, would you still keep your daycare?
Assuming I won a considerable large amount of money, I would stop enrolling new kids, see this group through (I only care for toddlers and pre-k) and then quit!
I would give 2 weeks notice and then be done. Only reason I'd give the notices is because 2 of my families are very good, very long term families (8+ years) and I just couldn't dropped them without warning.
I would give a months notice. Lotto money doesn't appear in your bank over night. I'd want to give myself some time to hire a good financial advisor and get the money deposited in my account before quitting
I would be a SAHM until youngest goes to school. Maybe teach part time middle school again - just one class. Maybe get my masters... travel...work out alot, like at the crazy posh places that have flavored water out in pitchers ::
I would text them all..yup text! And I would be to busy doing the happy dance that I would not, I repeat, NOT, give any notice. Let's be honest, they would not give notice. I agree with BC. They would pay the two weeks and be long gone.
I think anyone who got a substantial amount would be done at a drop of a hat. We all want to be super nice and give 2weeks, but......yea that's not happening.
Right now I think I'd expand. Maybe as a non-profit, for special, medical and exceptional needs. There is nothing to meet this need in my community. I'd also like to open one for seniors for the same reason. Obviously, it would have to be one heck of a payout.
In reality, though, I'd prefer to not have the kind of problems large payouts like that bring to people. I think I'll keep my nose to the grindstone and enjoy my peace. ::
- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.
I would keep most of my current crew until they aged out and not take anymore on. I would also hire more help so I could take more time off while I did remain open.
I'd close. No doubt about it whatsoever. I'd tell the dcps to find alternate care asap but I don't think I'd close the doors one day and say no coming back.
"Have a great weekend, dcps. Oh and by the way, I'm leaving Monday for a trip across the country and I'll be back...NEVER!"
It would be hard. I have one child who is like family, closer than my grandkids ever were. She was a special needs, very fragile baby who came here 3 weeks from NICU. Her issues required us to get very involved with her family, and I suspect they will always be part of our family. My husband's son wants us to move closer to him, to a town we love and has always felt like home. However, depending on my husband's health, we have decided to stay put until this child goes to school in 2 years. I don't think the lottery would change that, but I might give the others a 2 week notice.
