    Breaking a contract

    Hi!

    Is it ever justified for a childcare provider to break a contract signed with a parent?
    If so, how do you go about it?

    I have a clause in my contract that outlines the need to give 3 weeks notice to change the contract either by parent or caregiver. It also says that I reserve the right to terminate without notice if I feel that continue of the parent or child in the daycare is detrimental to the group. I havae used it for a parent that threw a fit and started swearing and for a 4 year old that sat in my kitchen and smeared his poop all over the room - table, floor, fridge, cause he was made it wasn't his parent at the door. My home my rules.

    Those are valid reasons to terminate a contract.

    I've been caring for others' children for many years LNR, and a couple of years licensed. I've never had to give notice. But if I did, it is in the contract that I will give them one months notice. If there was a reason that I needed to let them go immediately, I would give them their notice and return their deposit.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
