I've worked in daycare and preschools for ages and you're right, NO ONE will allow kids with possible pink eye in there centers without a note clearing them of it. You did absolutely everything right and this jerk is punishing you for it. I want to kick her. And I am so sad for the Dad that lost his job. I hope he finds something soon so that the kids can come back. Ugh I am just devastated for you. I want to come there and help somehow, I don't know how but I just want to make it better. :( *HUGS!!!!*Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797146094622280538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923391970801545914.post-1449264416947077712012-01-06T12:36:28.443-05:002012-01-06T12:36:28.443-05:00UGGHHHH people suck!!

She is an awful person for trying to hide something like that from you.

I actuall...I am so sorry this is happening to you. I actually had W in a family daycare for almost 3 years. At one point I was laid off, and we made an arrangement that for a lower rate she came there 2 days a week. Just cuz I knew that it would be a hardship for her. I felt bad a year and half later when we moved on to preschool.<br /><br />Now that I am laid off again, we meet up with her every so often. Unfortunately, she is having hard times too. She is down to 2 infants.<br /><br />Unfortunately, in tough times...everyone gets screwed! :-(<br /><br />As for this particular circumstance, you were totally right--and I think you did your best to talk to her, etc. Maybe the two weeks will give her a chance to think about her rashness.<br /><br />Wishing you the best, hon.Delennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567889031642608101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923391970801545914.post-44855217130902736022011-12-31T18:55:30.606-05:002011-12-31T18:55:30.606-05:00That sounds rough, I hope things work out.

This sucks, I think that having to deal with parents like that is one of the nain reason's that I would have a hard time doing your job.<br /><br />My sitter has told me horror stories of some of the issues she has had with her parents. She currently has one who hasn't paid her since September. The woman owes her more than $800. It's just nuts.<br /><br />I think you had every right to send the kids home. You can't risk getting everyone else's children sick including your own. I think that her "firing" you, had more to do with her being embarassed for being stupid, and less to do with you having her come get her kids.<br /><br />The parents that take their kids to daycare sick tick me off. <br /><br />I hope that you are able to find some more kids soon. I am sure that you will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923391970801545914.post-57339323771195192882011-12-31T13:11:24.069-05:002011-12-31T13:11:24.069-05:00You didn't do anything wrong here.

I have never seen a daycare without this policy. I don't know how you communicate this policy to new parents, but you might want to cut and paste policies on potentially infectious children from the website of a large, commercial daycare and hand out a copy of it to all of your new families.<br /><br />I can understand paying for daycare for two weeks if you signed a contract requiring notice before termination. But under no circumstance would I send my child to a daycare or a babysitter unless I completely trusted them. If I were angry at a daycare provider, I would pay the two weeks termination fee and not send my child to daycare. <br /><br />But in this case, you haven't done anything wrong. I'd give it a few days to let her cool down, and then you can apologize for the miscommunication since she obviously did not understand what the guidelines are for keeping her child at home from daycare.Jaclynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06800071653449114953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923391970801545914.post-60566571260592274292011-12-31T12:47:39.390-05:002011-12-31T12:47:39.390-05:00Seriously?

I, for one, would rather know when my son is too ill to be around other children. I would be angry if you didn't call. I think she was trying to pull one over on you and got mad that you called her out on it.<br /><br />I hope that you can find replacement kids ASAP. Any (normal) parent would be thrilled to find childcare with someone like you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923391970801545914.post-81593209415475177282011-12-31T11:25:04.934-05:002011-12-31T11:25:04.934-05:00Oh, wow!

She is going to be in shock when any child care facility or school reacts the same way you did. SHE is the mother and it is HER responsibility to care for HER ill child and HER responsibility to communicate to you.<br /><br />Praying that you can find children to fill those spots ASAP.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346777903276344723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923391970801545914.post-61471061400018670192011-12-31T10:04:18.827-05:002011-12-31T10:04:18.827-05:00I am so sorry you are going through this.

I have been thinking a lot about the bad karma and vibes people put out into the world and have to wonder if they don't realize that these things will eventually come back to them. What is wrong with people? You did the right thing. My mom also runs a daycare out of her home and one of her biggest complaints is parents sending their sick kids to the house to infect everyone else. It's so beyond rude and selfish. <br /><br />I'm sory. :(manymanymoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953231355870217701noreply@blogger.com
