Two Weeks Notice

[Steven0720]

Hi there, does two weeks notice valid if I mention to the worker there instead of the owner ?

[Josiegirl]

I think, to be sure, I'd hand the owner a written 2 week notice. That way nothing gets lost in the translation KWIM?

Check your contract that you signed at enrollment.

Most require a written notice . But like has already been mentioned check your contract and handbook on policies.

Written notice handed to the owner, most likely.

Okay, I decided to pull my son out the daycare after I picked him up one afternoon laying on the daycare floor with no response when teachers and I calling his name . I hurry in and picked him up found out he was burning hot and seems like heat stressed. The teacher told me they just got back from playing outside and thought he just tired. I told them to give me water because it seems like dehydrated . Anyway, long story short , I told the worker there, this is his last two weeks here and left because I pay the fees every two weeks.

Either way you should give a written notice to the owner/director too to be on the safe side. A worker may forget to mention it to the boss, etc.

Most programs require written notice.

Why would you leave him in their care for two more weeks if you feel he is in danger there?

I agree with this. You may or may not be able to get out of paying the two weeks, but if he is in danger why would you leave him? I would give it an writing and speak to the director about it.

Exactly my first thought.

Thats easier said then done specially if he has to pay them 2 weeks pay (center rate at that) then turn around and pay someone else for daycare for the same 2 weeks. Most people do not have extra money especially when you have to pay mortgage, utilities, food etc.

Money should be no issue when you feel your child's health is in danger. A heat illness can lead to death. Are you saying you would rather your child die than find a way to work something out? Take a leave of absence, call in a favor from a friend or family member, get a small personal loan. I understand being poor, hubby and I made $30,000 last year and supported our daughter who is 16 with no help from anyone. But you bet my backside if I thought my child's life was in danger I would figure something out. My child's life balanced against money? My child every time I would live in a cardboard box before I would watch my child die.

It stills fall back on you not knowing his families financial situation. He may not be able to pull out a loan and his friends and family members may have jobs also. Just from being on this forum alone I see how some providers interview a couple times before accepting a child into their program. So finding a place just to place your child is not that simple.

I am a single mother of three children and I do it all on my own and have for years. I KNOW being poor. I get that but I would pull my child out in a heartbeat and not pay them the two weeks and let them sue me for it before I would ever allow my child to be in danger. NOTHING is worth that.
