[quote=Anonymous]It was on you to have done your research and made your decision before you signed a contract.  You were fully aware that if you pulled out, you'd be on the hook.

Our local (DC area) preschool requires a contract well in advance, you prepay and if you back out at any time, you're on the hook for the whole year.  It can suck.  They have their reasons for operating that way.  We signed a contract for the first year.  For the second, we were 50% sure we were going to move away and didn't sign the contract for the next year.  We risked either losing it all if we moved, or if we stayed, not signing and having to find a new preschool because this one fills up.  Anyway, my point is, we knew that it was a contract, we knew what the terms were, and we made decisions accordingly.  You HAD to have known that there was risk in signing a contract with a place out of state you didn't know.  You should have done all your due diligence before signing, researching and getting feedback.  If you got caught up in wanting to get a spot and not miss out and have now changed your mind, too bad.

Depending on state contract law, they may well (and probably do) bear some burden to fill your spot (and then you'd still be liable for the advertising and costs of finding someone, and for the portion that they don't fill).  But if they don't fill it, you're liable.[/quote]
