It would depend on the wording of the contract but typically you would be entitled to receive the fees for unpaid care back but NOT the deposit or used days of care. The deposit was likely non-refundable and it compensation for the care provider holding a spot for your child and for loss of income while they try to fill the spaces that are now suddenly open again.
If you have paid the $800 deposit PLUS the monthly fees (for 2 children) you would be entitled to the receiving the monthly fees back (minus the days of care used).
Many children behave differently at home with mom than they do in a group setting, while it was only 2.5days and your child may have settled in with more time it is just not feasible for a day home provider to manage such behaviors of a 4yr old when they are responsible for numerous young children at once. Day home providers work alone they do not have an extra set of hands to be managing such behaviors. The majority of home providers would have to terminate, immediately for the safety of the group in this circumstance. Most would recommend that a child exhibiting such behaviors joins a daycare where there are multiple teachers on hand to help quickly extinguish such behaviors.
Best of luck.
