Terminating Part-Time Family

[KingstonMom]

I recently had to terminate a part time family. The daycare kid came anywhere from 1-3 days per week as parents were shift workers. I eventually needed the spot filled with a full timer ONLY for the income, it was not a decision I made because of the child or the parents.
I laid it all out in a letter and handed it to them at pick up one day. it was really difficult as i had became friends with this family (first mistake). They were completly shocked and taken by surprise. Here is a blurb of the letter I gave to them:
The reason being is strictly financial reasons. Running a daycare, I am legally allowed to have only 5 children in care, not including my own. Having xxxxxx attend one, two, sometimes three days per week still takes up one of my five allotted spaces. I am in desperate need for a full time child just to help pay the bills. I really hope you can understand this.

PM me and I can share the rest of it for you if you interested.
