She antis up the money or you terminate. Period. WTH would any parent assume that they could just bring a puking kid to daycare just so they could get their monies worth? And, furthermore, if it was all in the CONTRACT then why didn't she READ IT before she signed it? And, as you said, she obviously didn't read it because she was also clueless to the fact that there was a 24 hour exclusion policy.
I think it speaks VOLUMES about a parent who says they would have brought their sick, puking child to daycare if they thought they had to pay. Yeah, real nice parent to that child.
I don't know.....the fact alone that she admitted she cared so little for her kid as to have dumped her at daycare when sick if she had to pay would be enough for me to terminate this family. Because NEXT time she is just gonna medicate that kid to cover up the symptoms and dump her in your daycare and the next thing you know you are ALL gonna be sick.
