I know this is going to be so rough on her. She doesn't transition well.

The owner is no longer happy with the arrangement that we have had for the last 2 years and waits until my daughter's 3rd day back to tell me we either have to pay more, send her more days, or make her full time on the days she goes. I have had it. Every year in Sept or Oct she pulls crap and wanted to pull my daughter last year and I didn't because my daughter is soooooooooooooo attached to her teacher but today was the final straw. I will have to put her in the other place that we had originally looked at. I love the academics of this other place but her not having her favorite teacher that she has known since she was 5 months old breaks my heart. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

But I cannot deal with the owners lies and what not anymore and neither can my husband.

From a business standpoint it makes more sense to fill that spot with someone that attends f/t or pays for f/t. She really should have told you prior to starting the new year though! I hope she loves her new teacher as much as her old Chat Icon

Oh believe me I get her perspective but when my daughter was the ONLY infant for a long time and she had some toddlers. She was only too happy to take our money and deal with our schedule.

The first year she said she was going to have to close the infant center and only my daughter wouldn't be able to stay, because she was the youngest. All the other kids would be moved to a different room. Ok so we went and looked at this other place it- it was $14 a day cheaper, they provided lunches and snack (my place doesn't you have to bring in everything) and you could bank your sick days (at mine you have to pay for them and you get no make upsChat Icon )! So when she had heard we found a place that we were satisfied with she said oh no we are going to keep your daughter I am going to keep the center open. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Then I call her several times over the summer to go through rates and what times and such- she never called back until a few days before.

Then last September my daughter enters at 15 months old- same rate of pay and she starts with you need to bring her in earlier. I explained to her my husband's hours and how he would like to spend some time with her in the mornings and this is the best that we can do because he doesn't get home until Midnight and he would never see her. All of this should have been settled in the summer again before she came back. So I tell her if it's that inconvient for you I will pull her no biggie. The kids she had been with were moving up stairs and she was going to be left with a lot of babies and I wasn't so thrilled. No don't take her out we will work it out.

Now this year again. I bring my daughter in on several occassions to visit. I see the owner. She says NOTHING. I had my daughter in the Friday before Labor Day to do a trial run and she says nothing. This week we did 2 days to get her used to it again and she waits until today to start with my husband. OK not for nothing my husband doesn't handle daycare matters it's all on me and she knows this so why pizz him off so now he calls me screaming at me about this. Anyway I tried to talk to her today and she was RUDE. I said if my daughter is too "inconvient" to you (since she used that word several times) then I will have her out before (I hope) the end of October.

F-her!!!

Oh and also she has the business for sale. I find it on MLS (several months ago) I was sick to my stomach. I confirm with a RE that it is indeed for sale and I question her about it since she is giving my name out to people for references and I don't want to send people there when she is going to sell and she said that it was just to get an evaluation of how much the business is worth

Chat Icon

I have just had it. As I stood there crying hysterically, my daughter is now crying uncontrolably, her favorite teacher Miss Laura comes and takes her out of my arms and instantly my daughter is calm again. I am just devastated that she is going to lose this. I cannot afford to send her ft nor will my DH allow it, because he will NEVER EVER see her then.

This sux so bad. I haven't stopped crying all day.

That has to be so frustrating. Why can't people just put children's needs before their own. I hope the transition goes well for her.

It sux, but your daughter will adjust. Kids do. I know what you mean about not wanting your child in FT if you don't have to. My center does 3,4, and 5 days a week but it's no less than 8 hours a day....

Re: I have to pull my daughter out of her daycare and put her into another and I am just so upset

I just wanted to give you all an update. We went back to the other place that we originally looked at 2 years ago. While I don't love it 100000000000% I am very happy with it (I don't think I will ever LOVE LOVE LOVE any day care center KWIM?) It is a state accredited school and since they actually have classes for kindergarten and 1st grade they work in conjunction with the school district that it's in. I am VERY impressed with the curriculum that they are doing. They had not one ounce of a problem with my daughter's schedule or time. In fact they have made a lot of accommodations to take her. Chat Icon They will start her in the 2 going to be 3 room. She will have lunch with those kids. Then while those kids nap (since DD usually won't) they will take her over the preschool room (mostly 3 year olds, some 4 year olds). It's 2 half day programs, so they kids will be starting at the same time. They will do 'academics' with her until 3 and then they will bring her bring her back to her first room where she will finish the day with her 'friends' as they wake up. This is the best of both world's for me.

I have already taken her there 3 times for a couple of hours and she has been fine. I was there with her Friday while I was filing out paperwork and she played in her room and not a tear. My mom took her to visit again today, she was in the room while my Mom was chatting in another area with the owner and again she was fine. She is doing great. She says she loves her 'big girl school' . She knows that she is going back to her old school for 3 more days to say good-bye to Miss Laura (and she says Miss Sue too Chat Icon ) and then she knows she will be going to the new school.

I called the owner today to tell her Friday will be my daughter's last day and she said fine. I arrived at 5 with a letter so that the date of her last day was in writing (so that she couldn't say oh I thought you meant 9-14 was her last day) and she opened the door took the letter from me and practically slammed it in my face.

I am so glad that we are leaving this place.

Thank you all for the support.

actually from a business standpoint you would make more $$$ if you had two p/t kids....its more $$ per day that way!

that sux big time Jamie! lots of Chat Icon and glad your dd likes the new place! (plus better you aren't giving money to that other owner anymore!)

I think its going to be easier on your dd than you think. Just the ease of the stress gone from this situation will make your WHOLE family feel better, which in turn affects her too. It may be a tough transistion at first but so much better in the long run.

You have to have a good relationship with everyone that cares for your child, not just the teacher who loves her. Chat Icon Hang in there.

It's horrible what that place put you guys through. The new place sounds so much better and I think your DD will enjoy it more. I think I would have a major problem with the owner being rude to me and just thinking if this is how she treats the kids.
