I was just given notice by the mom of the most challenging tot I've encountered. I've considered termination numerous times, but the parents were so wonderful that I stuck it out for 9 months. They're switching her to an older caregiver with just one other child there, so she can get more attention. They also emphasized that it was because of her needs, and didn't think she was suitable for a large group setting, that they were happy with my care and would continue to recommend my daycare. Part of me is elated/relieved, because she either required my full attention or screamed all day (and I have a full roster), but part of me feels like a failure. I've been open 1.5yrs and this is the first child who left for other care (others phased out or I termed). I really thought that I could reach any child.
