DCK just pulled from my care :(

I agree on making a call to the parents. Might even do it this afternoon during naptime rather than waiting till this evening. Call with the idea that you are sorry the parent was feeling so upset today and you hope they are feeling better. Say something about how you know it is hard to put their child into daycare and natural to be concerned. At the same time (I am assuming she is a mom to one and you have more than one so more experience on your side.) say I know that sometimes children aren't as tactful about what they say or totally mean what they do say. My son is realizing just what it means to have mommy do daycare. While he loves the fact that mommy is home with him he will gradually get used to the fact mommy is still working and that means giving some attention to other children too. It is a learning curve for everyone. Let the mom know that you are prepared to welcome her and her child back to your home and that you will work with each child as they enter the daycare group to fit in, make friends, become comfortable. If she still says no then as others have said it wasn't about what your son said it was her fear of daycare in general. Keep the faith, there are children out there needing care.
