Withdrawing from Care
I value our relationship and your family. Saying goodbye is VERY hard on all of us.
​
I love and adore your child. My entire heart goes into making sure they are happy, healthy, and secure while in my care. It takes a huge chunk of my heart when children withdraw from care. So please know that they are loved and special to me. I will miss your kiddo dearly when it's time to move on!!!!
​
IF YOU NEED TO TERMINATE CARE:
-
Please talk with me personally without other parents around. You can also call me.
-
I require a verbal in person "30 days End of Care = 30-day EOC" withdrawal notice DURING BUSINESS HOURS ONLY; M-Th 7 a.m. - 4 p.m.
-
Upon receiving your withdrawal notice, if any tuition balance is due, I will send a final statement. If your tuition payment is not received within 24 hours of receiving your final bill, there will be a $25 late fee added, per child / per day before your child can return to care.
-
At the time of giving your withdrawal from care notice, your non-refundable deposit gets applied to the last days of care minus my earned PTO (personal time off). All tuition, registration fees, 30-day EOC, and deposits are NON-refundable. You use it or lose it.
​
It's hard to say goodbye - please don't:
-
text/email/leave a voicemail/etc saying you want to speak with me
-
text/email/leave a voicemail/etc ending care
-
contact me during non-business hours/vacation/time off
-
If it was your day off would you want your boss to text/email/leave a voicemail/etc, after hours or on vacation that they are letting you go?
-
We are all adults, we can have an adult conversations
IF I NEED TO TERMINATE CARE:
-
I will provide you with as much advance notice as possible. If you decide to leave before the last date of care that was given, the 30-day notice will apply.
​
LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED:
-
You are my voice in the community. After verbal notice I would greatly appreciate if you could provide a letter of recommendation that I can use for my website for new families to view
-
Watching over little ones is not a glamorous job but a valuable job!
-
Some topics to think about in a recommendation letter may be:
-
the love and care I’ve given to your precious little one and family
-
Teaching ABC’s, 123’s, sorting, colors, shapes, songs
-
keeping daycare very clean and sanitized
-
potty training
-
solving tantrums
-
bandaging scrapes
-
hugging tears away or tending to boo-boos
-
being available for late picks early, and early drop offs
-
and of course, all our favorite the changing of stinky diapers and throw-up clean ups :)
-

​
IMMEDIATE TERMINATION
-
I reserve the right to terminate care immediately if I feel that there are safety reasons, custody issues, failure to pay, dis-respect, slander, un-necessary drama etc.
-
If child is picked up by someone in an impaired condition, depending on circumstances, care may be terminated immediately, and police will be called
-
I cannot under any condition put the people in my care in unsafe situations. Any tuition paid at that time is forfeited and non-refundable and any remaining balances are due immediately or $25 late fee per child / per day will be added.
​
All tuition, registration fees, and deposits are non-refundable.
You use it or lose it
