Daycare Will Not Allow Early Pick Up - California

[daycarediva]

Update: I called a couple of daycares I had spoken to when I first was looking and really liked but they had no space at the time. As luck would have it one of them who is a mile from my house has an opening. I am allowed pick up , stop in and visit any time.I told her about my current situation and she gave me all the advice and vibes you guys did. My husband, Baby and I met her yesterday and not only is she close to my house but she looks after a girl from my companies son. I called the mom as a reference and she had nothing but good things to say.
So although I have to give current one 4 weeks notice I am just paying her the 4 weeks and taking him out today. Good riddance .
I will also be making that call to the state.

Thank you all. This is website is a great resource


I cannot thank you enough

I agree with all of the advice provided above. So glad you made a switch and are pulling him out immediately!

Did you call licensing and give them a heads up? In our state we are NEVER allowed to deny a parent access to their child. If they come during nap and wake up every child in care I have to let them (doesn't mean I won't terminate our contract). I have an open door policy- come in any time you like, but you have to take your child with you when you go.
