I once had a dcb develop a severe allergy to dairy which I could have handled by just not feeding him dairy. However, situation became problematic when parent sent me a long email outlining that I had to ensure the other dcks came in the morning without any trace of dairy residue on clothes, skin, nails, and that a kiss from any of the kids, or mouthing the same toys could be life threatening to him. She gave epi-pen but I still termed immediately even tho I didn't have anything in contract about this. I just couldn't sleep for fear of inadvertently killing the child. Parents were upset but I couldn't understand with such a severe allergy why they'd have him in group care and put that on me. So now in my contract I state that if child develops severe life-threatening allergies that cannot be safely managed, I can term immediately.
For bad behavior I have : In the event that your child demonstrates continuing disruptive behavior that negatively affects the daycare, you will be notified. At my discretion, it may be necessary to terminate care immediately.
