Termination letter help!

[Lee-Bee]

Keep it short and clear. Be direct, firm and quick. Don't complicate it by trying to make the letter nicer as it can make it sound like you are willing to be convinced otherwise.

It is more important to be direct and clear than to try and soften the message. In the end the message is you can't care for their child and you just can't sugar coat that enough to keep the parents happy about it.

Give you last date of care. Wish them the best moving forward. No apologies for not being able to to continue care. It is just a matter of fact situation and you are not to blame. But, don't blame them either.

Best of luck! It sounds like it is time to move on, you have yourself, your family and your other daycare children to think of and sometimes that just means having to stop caring for a specific child.

If they challenge you, are upset, promise to change etc just keep restating that as of X date you cannot provide care for their child.
