Thank you all for the feedback (: It has been very helpful and much appreciated.

Contract states the following...

'Withdrawals and termination of one month's written notice is required to withdraw your children from ____ Dayhome. Otherwise, the above mentioned placement deposit will not be returned. If termination notice has been given in writing, the placement deposit will be applied to the last month of childcare. If the safety or health of myself or the other children is at risk, I reserve the right to discontinue care of your children immediately.'

'If a parent for any reason decides to not have their children attend ____ Dayhome, or chooses to leave prior to the 30 days notice, this placement is non-refundable and will not be returned.'

The contract states nothing about the return of monies if the care provider terminates immediately.

Thoughts parents?

Thanks in advance
