We know our sons daycare provider personally. We are starting to question whether or not we want to keep bringing him there. How do you "nicely" tell them that he won't be coming anymore. At this point I don't care what I saw just as long as it sounds nice... (bad I know)

No, nothing serious were our son needs to be removed. More of we are not that close to them anymore, and it feels awkward being there. She also seems upset when we call into her and say he can't make it. Such as when he is sick.

What did you see? Something that should be reported to the state to check out? Try, if you haven't already, to find the other daycare, then transfer him. If you are really concerned about him being there-and can take a few days off to look for another daycare, please do so-asap. If there are more children your child's age at the other childcare, that could be used as the reason.With your child at this one daycare, you could tell the provider that you would feel more comfortable keeping this relationship on a personal level, and not mix personal/professional together. And, if you want to back off on the personal-do so-without going into "why" with the person. Not when you break the profesisonal part-but just over time. Not getting together with this person socially. Etc. And, please, whether this real reason you don't want your child there is - because of something you have "seen or heard", please call the state office or county, probably state, to get this matter investigated. Not only for your benefit, but for the other children's benefit as well. Take care.

Tell them that exactly; that you're not sure you want him in daycare anymore, for whatever reason. I'd say any daycare, even if you're planning to start a new one tomorrow, if you're really worried about the personal relationship you have with the provider. Give them adequete notice(two weeks) and try not to burn bridges. Say that you've heard and seen amazing results at a different place, whatever...the important thing here is actually your son and what you feel is right, not the feelings of the provider. Nice isn't always viable when you're being a parent. They'll either get over it or they won't, you know?

I am assuming that whatever reason you are switching daycares is because you cannot come to a resolution w/ your current provider. You need to give your current provider at least 2 weeks notice unless your child is in danger by being there. Just tell the current provider that you decided to find a daycare that better suits your son's personality, needs, etc...

If money is not an issue, give the daycare provider 2 weeks pay for care, and instead of having your child finish those 2 weeks with her, go ahead and enroll him in the new daycare. If money IS an issue, I would go with the 2 weeks notice, and if anything changes, your child begins complaining, or acting different, than you know something isn't right and get him out of there.

you really owe no explanation to your daycare provider. Anyone, who watches children should be able to separate business from personal friendship.If you feel it is best to change providers simply explain to your current provider that after discussing your situation with your spouse, you have decided it is better for you and your son to make some changes. Give the notice that is required in your contract (OR just pay for your slot) and move him. After, as long as it is nothing personal between you and your provider maintain the friendship or acquaintance with your now friend. Good lick
