    So are you working at the moment for free? They could up and leave right now because they haven't paid? These people are more trouble than they are worth.

    What kind of notice period do you have in your contract?

    I don't think they have given you enough of a reason to terminate without notice. I am getting the sense that maybe you haven't been communicating things super clearly and you have been giving them 2nd and 3rd chances. I would personally follow your contract re: notice period but offer them their money back (if they paid in advance) if they leave right away.

    I will give them 1 months notice.
    I have been communicating the best I can with them. I send notes home, I write emails, I talk face to face. what more can I do?

    Please, if you give them 1 months notice (or any length of notice) please please put it in writing and have them sign it that should they not provide pull ups (and list all other manners of disrespect) that they then terminate care immediately.

    They have the power to make the next month living hell should they choose. Make them agree in writing to behave respectfully. You are giving them a lot of good will here, they need to do the same in return!!

    I gave the 1 months notice, and they seemed a little too, happy? I'm not sure if they were just shocked and decided to make it seem like it's not a big deal but I feel very relieved and I can't wait to feel normal again! No more stress! I really hope the next centre she goes to is able to get a better response from this family. I would hate for this poor little one to be bounced around from daycare to daycare. I guess I just need to let it go now. Thank you all so much for your support!! It is nice to feel like so many people have my back, even though I don't actually know you all. Lol!

    Maybe their 'happiness' was their realizing you were being quite caring and gracious in giving them a full month to get themselves set up somewhere else without a huge disruption on their end. Perhaps they realized you could have ended care immediately or with just 2 weeks notice and they were grateful for your consideration :-)

    I hope the month goes quickly and smoothly for you. I hope your new little one that takes this place is a joy to work with and has respectful parents!!!

    That's great!

    Just remember to learn from all this, change up your contract now to reflect a better potty training policy and be tough and enforce it with all new families.

    Also on a side note - by allowing them to pay on the 20th instead of the 1st is letting them know your policies don't really matter that everything is negotiable. Write your contract so that it is exactly what you expect from families and don't allow any different.
