It doesn't matter if your opinion is that it is unfair. Provider has added clause because she views the alternative as unfair. Once you have signed the contract, as with any contract, you are indicating agreement to the content.

Your chance to object to it, is before signing not after, when you had the advantage of carer honoring their terms.
I fully read my contract before signing... The issue here, is that the contract is not clear, so it was very much a surprise to be told that I need to pay her for her vacation that has not been taken this year. Like someone else in the thread mentioned, the contract should refer to accrued vacation, and not just say that she is 'entitled to 2wks paid vacation per year'.

And no, the issue would not be because of my daughters age... When we first started with this daycare in September, I was up front and honest about the fact that we would only be needing her services from Sept until the summer (and I gave MORE than enough notice as to when we were leaving), as my daughter is starting school this September... I was very honest about everything, and feel taken advantage of, to be honest.

I have tried speaking to her about it, to let her know that what she is asking is not really in her contract, to see if we can come to a compromise, but it doesn't look like that is happening... guess I am out $328!
