Renew or buh-bye!

Two hours late is unreasonable unless an emergency has occurred. Did you have phone numbers to reach them? I keep back-up numbers of family members for cases like this. I agree with the post-dated cheques - monthly if possible to eliminate the hat in hand scenario. I think your gut reaction is telling you to let them go but unfortunately these days economics play a big part of deciding to terminate a family.

2 hours late ??
That is a huge lack of respect... that is a lie and there is no excuse for picking up your child 2 hours late.
I would honestly not renew the contract if filling that spot is not a factor... even if it was... I would be too proud to let them do that to me.
They obviously don't think very highly of the woman who spends her days educating and caring for their child!
