How to announce you're closing your dc

[playfelt]

Why not do it verbally in just a couple sentences at the door saying for xx reason or just for personal reasons or whatever you have decided that you need to close your daycare and that you will be sending everyone an email later tonight with more details.

Then in the email give whatever reasons you want, thank them for using your services then give the details - when your last day is, the arrangements that need to be made.

You could also include some links of places to look for an alternate provider as well as provide with a list of names of people you have spoken to already that have a space for the timeframe you need so they are not left in the lurch.

Spell out exactly what the departure format will be in terms of dates and expectations for notice if other than whatever date, etc.
