Contract Termination

TERMINATION BY PROVIDER

A. Two-Weeks Notice

Provider may terminate Child’s enrollment in the family day care home effective upon two weeks notice to Parent, for any reason.  The pre-paid deposit for the final 2 weeks of attendance will be applied at this time.  If there are any outstanding debts owed by Parent beyond the dollar amount of the deposit, (the outstanding debt plus the last two weeks of child care), then the Provider will apply the prepaid deposit first to the outstanding debt and the balance on a per day basis for as many days as the remaining sum permits.  This may reduce the remaining number of days of care from ten days (or two weeks for partial enrollees) to the number of days possible given the amount of deposit remaining.  If Provider’s two-week notice of termination occurs in the midst of a longer pre-paid payment period, a pro-rated amount will be refunded to Parent after first deducting any outstanding charges owed.

B. Immediate Termination

Provider may terminate Child’s enrollment in Provider’s program effective immediately, including but not limited to, in the event of any of the following conditions arising:

(1) In the sole judgment of Provider, the Child’s behavior or the Parent’s behavior poses a significant threat to the physical or mental health or well-being of one or more of the other children at the family child care home, the Provider, or other persons on Provider’s premises, and Provider is unable to reasonably eliminate the threat.

(2) Any payment owed by Parent to Provider is not paid within three days after such payment is due;

If, pursuant to any of the reasons set forth above, Provider terminates Child’s enrollment in the midst of a payment period, a pro-rated amount will be refunded to Parent after first deducting any outstanding charges owed. Provider will also refund the pre-paid deposit for the last two weeks of care at this time, after first deducting any outstanding charges that remain due and owing.

The initial month of care Child is enrolled are considered probationary.  Both Parent and Provider may reserve the right to terminate the contract for any reason.

WITHDRAWAL OF CHILD BY PARENT

Parent here by agrees to provide two-weeks notice in writing to the Provider before withdrawing Child from the program.  At the time of two-weeks notice being given the original LTW payment made at the end of the 4th week of care being held from the start of care will then be applied two the upcoming two weeks of care. If Parent fails to provide two-weeks written notice, Parent agrees to forfeit the LTW payment, even though Child may no longer be attending the program.

Two-weeks notice must be given by signed Parent AT OR BEFORE the child’s last contracted care pick up time of the current week in order for the LTW to begin the upcoming week. Two-weeks notice given AFTER the Child’s last contracted care pick up time of the week will not be applied until the next following week AFTER the upcoming week. For example, for a typical full-time care child picked up at 5pm on Friday, June 1st, a two-weeks notice given at this time of pick up will result in the LTW beginning immediately the upcoming week (6/4-6/8); Two-weeks notice given any later than the 5pm Friday pick up will result in the two-weeks notice not beginning until Friday, June 8th and the LTW be applied at that time.
