[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I hear everyone about having the courtesy to let her go in person, but we have not secured the daycare spot yet.  we sign on a friday.  so, is it better to let her go by phone on friday on a 3-day weekend, or tell her on a monday when she returns?

If there is any chance the daycare spot might fall through (though it sounds like just a paper signing?) then call her after your meeting and tell her that you sincerely apologize for having to do this over the phone, but that you've been offered and accepted a daycare spot and that you feel it would be a better place for your child right now.  Let her know that you are offering a month of pay and that her last day with you will be X.  Tell her you have written her a great reference letter and that you're happy to be a reference for her for her job search (if you are).  You could ask if she'd like for you to post on a local mom's group or something that she is looking.  Close the conversation by saying you will talk again in person on Monday.  Doing so would be 100% fine and responsible.  Giving her a month of notice is awesome.

Are you starting your child at the daycare immediately?  If so, when will she get to say goodbye?[/quote]
