Soo, i need some advise, i recently just opened my home daycare and had this little boy for two months when suddenly his mom got layed off and she pulled him from care with out notice! My contract clearly states that if childcare is terminated without notice full payment is still required, and it also stated that i need 4 weeks (which i know is more then most) notice. I stupidly have been letting these parents pay me at the end of the week for the care received that week (lesson learned) so now i am out just about $560 for the month of may, she said that she was going to drop the money off yesterday (May 15) and never showed, so i sent her a 'reminder' text and have not heard back. soooo i guess i am just wondering what i should do next? I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt but...i don;t want to get stiffed either!
