How much heads up is reasonable for daycare to change their opening hours?

This is terrible of the provider. 2 days notice?! No way- considerate thing is at a minimum of 2 weeks notice. I understand the providers viewpoint but that is way too little notice. I would also not be friends with this person and would not serve as a reference for future parents! Sprry OP that is so stressful

OP you sound dramatic and trashy. The sad thing is your daughter or son (you keep switching?) will be the one most hurt by this.

I had something similar happen to me a few years ago. My daughter was part time in an in home daycare and I was given 2 1/2 weeks notice by the provider that she was cutting back on the number of children because her assistant was going back to her home country. We went to another child's birthday party the following week and I discovered she was flat out lying to me. There was a new baby sibling about to start, but a child who she thought was leaving for preschool decided to stay another year at the last minute, and she would have been out of ratio with the one extra child. So of course, she decided to kick out the part time child who had no stake in the game. If there were online reviews for her, I would have TRASHED the hell out of her.

Plus, if she lied to me about that, I don't even want to know what else she lied to me about in the year that my child was there.

Good luck!!

You sound like a trashy person yourself. Perhaps your snowflake was a brat.

Why is OP or this poster trashy? It’s not “drama” when your provider lies to you or try to get rid of you to make space for another person?

If you leave, then she can put a full time kid in that slot, and have more money and 7.5 hours of her life back. Ask yourself honestly, if someone came to you and offered you a new job with 7.5 less hours and more money, and it came with a positive change for your own child, how many weeks notice would you have felt obligated to give her? I think she had the same obligation to you.

+1

That's crummy and a huge time change. I think the lead time for a major change all depends on what kind of termination clause the contract states because essentially, you may be terminating families with a huge change like that. It seems like you worked it out after all, you pulled your daughter so it seems like you found care.

Why is OP trashy? And you posted the same thing twice. Why is OP dramatic?
