I agree, first and foremost you need to treat anything that little one came in contact with , like a flea spray or something, do you have pets? if so, I would give them a quick flea bath just to make sure. and then I would seriously consider letting them go, If you have had issues in the past with the wellness of the child and the spread of illness or other conditions, that is grounds alone for termination. sounds like they might be a pile of trouble if you try and keep going. Good Luck!

Crafty.....CALM DOWN!!!! Really I think you are going overboard in the panic department LOL. One flea is not an infestation and I seriously doubt that you will find anything more! I wouldn't use chemicals at this point or close the daycare...that would be like closing because you found a spider crawling across the floor! If it were a bed bug...well that would be another story...but fleas...no. Stay calm...if you see more then you can think about doing a treatment on your house...but I would be VERY surprised if that happens. Breath, breath, breath. It will be fine

I agree 100% with Kidlove. I know that you need the income from this child, but if your other daycare families heard about this I'd be afraid that they'd jump ship - and then you're out however many incomes (and they're the good families) If it were me, I'd give them their notice. Keep it polite and professional - maybe use a neutral reason for why you're letting their little guy go, something like you're looking to reduce the number of children you care for - and take a leaf from the Queen: "Never debate your decision, Never explain - just politely inform people. " Good luck !
