Kicked From Daycare

[KidGrind]

I agree with both statements, but i never signed a contract. And she is the one that terminated care without notice. If she raises a fuss then i know we'll have to go to small claims court. But we told her not to cash the check ahead of time so as far as that particular situation goes, we cant go back on the cancelled check.

I don’t know the laws in your area. If it was legal for you to cancel the check, I say, “smart move.”

I am only getting one side of the story. This is how I see strictly from the information you shared.

1. I don’t understand why you kept your child there with all the calling for early pick up. As a parent, I would’ve questioned if I’d chosen the right place for my baby. I’d also be looking for another suitable place for my child. If I could afford it, being a stay at home parent would’ve been my choice.

2. As a provider, I don’t want a child in my care that is not adjusting. It’s not good for the other children in my care to be subjected to screaming. It’s not good for me either. And it’s not healthy for the screamer. I would’ve termed too. I would’ve have given you a two weeks notice, if possible. If it was an immediate term, I would’ve had any appropriate money refunded to you. Again that is me and I do not dictate how other provider’s conduct themselves or handle their business.

3. I’d be happy to end an arrangement that doesn’t sound like it was working for your family.

Well she cashed the check and we made an agreement that id pay half of what she owed for that and we are now done, whole situations over. My wife is getting a high paying job so i can be a stay at home dad if need be. Thanks for ur advice, after we were done with everything her true colors showed and she is a horrible person

I am glad you were able to come to an amicable solution. You can put the entire situation behind you now and move on knowing it was resolved.

Again, I am sorry you had a bad experience with your provider.

Not all providers are the same so I hope it doesn't sour your opinion of those that do go above and beyond to provide good loving care to the children and families they take into their homes, hearts and lives.

Good luck in your new adventures of a being a SAHD! I think it's great that so many dads are now able to become the primary caretakers for their children!
