    LOL Playfelt ~ I amended my contract to clarify that 'notice to apply security deposit' cannot be given before a child starts either if you give notice before you start you just FORFEIT that deposit now cause it is not fair to the child or the group to have someone come for just two weeks!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    I'm sorry you feel that way, but our contracts are legal tender that will be enforced in court for the party who has kept their word according to the contract, whether that be the caregiver or the client.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
