I had planned to give at least a months notice to give parents extra time to find daycare. After some talking with my husband though, I'm only going to give my 2 weeks as per my contract. This is because, should they find daycare earlier and leave, they would be able to give me 2 weeks notice and I'd be out of pocket. I originally thought that they wouldn't be able to do that, but apparently they legally can and I would potentially be stung hard for it. The only thing that does help in my situation is that I am going away for 3 weeks after I close which all parents have back up care arranged for, so really they will potentially have 5 weeks to find care. I don't want to leave them in a tight spot, but I'm sure many wouldn't give me a second thought and leave me high and dry and I can not afford that.

It's stressful finding daycare, but it's also stressful just to think about being put in a bad financial spot should my goodwill backfire and people leave early, so 2 weeks notice it is!
