I, got my son out of the day care facility, due to irresponsibility of the day care provider. I requested a copy of the signed contract from the provider, and I was told that, she would contact her attorney, and would get back to me.
Do us parents, have a legal right to ask for a copy of signed contract? I called licensing, and they said that they, do not know anything about it.
Could anyone please let me know? who should I go to.

I, signed and gave the package, to the provider when first enrolled, and did not get a copy at that time, on 2 occasion, I asked her politely to give the signed contract copy, and she, only , gave me a copy of the rule and regulations of her facility.

I would assume signing a contract is like signing a lease, you should be allowed so recieve a copy of something you have signed your name to. You should probably go to a lawyer and recieve some legal advise

All parties to a signed contract should get a copy at the time of signing. That is the point of the signatures and the copies. Everyone takes with them, the terms that are agreed to.
That way, if there is any conflict, each can see and point to the terms in question. And, with each person having the same copy in their posession, no one can later make changes to the terms without another party knowing.
It may be true that the provider does not know the law, but don't wait for the provider's attorney to call back. Demand your copy or threaten to sue.
That contract should have specified what responsibilities the provider had. What you see as irresponsibility may not be on the contract. In fact, your pulling your son out may be seen, by them, as a breech of YOUR terms of the contract.
Next time you sign a contract, or ANY kind of agreement that requires you or another party to do something, make sure you get a copy immediately.

Any time you sign a contract, you have a right to a copy of that contract. The best time you get the copy is when you first sign it. If there is ever a reason why you feel suspicious about signing something, ask before you sign if you can get a copy.
Always get a copy of anything you sign.

When you signed the contract initially they should have given you a copy of everything that you signed. When you enter into a contract both parties are to receive a copy.
Contact your states department of jobs and family servies, or it would be called something similar. Each state has a department that handles child care regulations. Actually every county has one. I know in Ohio the department is called Department of jobs and family services I am not sure what other states call it. But contact that division and they should be able to help you.
It wouldn't hurt to talk to a lawyer yourself. Especially if you are planning a lawsuit of some kind.

You never sign a a contract without getitng a copy right than.
If you did get a copy than find it or call them and demand it. If they did not give you a copy than they are not the kind of business you want to do business with, and you can demand one still. IF you have an attorney ask him to call requesting one. this usually does it.
Sounds like your day care provider has experienced trouble before with their service.

Any paper that you signed is accessible to you. There should be no reason that she wouldn't give it to you, unless it incriminated her or her company policies in some way. You have the right to see and copy ANYTHING in your child's file. That is your child, and papers concerning him belong to him. You need to tell the daycare provider that you called licensing (if she is regulated by that agency) or whoever is in charge of regulations, and that you want to see his file. (just show up, don't call ahead) If she is a home daycare provider, I'm betting she was just bluffing about a lawyer... home daycare providers generally can't afford such a luxury. Don't take no for an answer- and tell her that you are going to make a formal complaint to the regulating authorities about the reasons that you pulled your child out. You are allowed to have anything you have signed- especially a contract.

you may be out of luck. I had to take my daughter of a daycare but i had my contract. I was able to read it and find out what my responsiblities were. If you need a copy and the daycare will not give it to you then you are in trouble. Ask another mom if they kept a copy. It should be the same thing for everyone.

If you signed it, you've got a right to see it. You shouldn't have to get a lawyer to get the contract, but if it is necessary, do so.

If you signed it, didn't you get a copy when you signed it?
