Here is what my contract states:

I reserve the right to immediately terminate for the following reasons:

- Non-payment
- Failure to abide by my policies as outlined by my handbook
- Physical or verbal abuse of any person or property
- If a child becomes a danger to the other children
- Failure to complete required forms
- False information given by parents either verbally or in writing

Do I have to have it in my contract that the deposit is forfeited by failure to follow policies? Because isn't that what the deposit is for? Lost wages in the event that they skip out, or in this case, in the event that I have to terminate immediately? The deposit is, essentially for the last two weeks care, but the reason that we secure it is to avoid losing wages in the event of abrupt termination of agreement. I just can't figure out if this is worthy.
