I have kids who need daycare 2 days a week for three hours from 5AM-8-8:30AM. I met a woman who appeared to be very nice mother of three,with a contract defining expectations from both parties.When we initially sought her service we explained we have no family or friends in the area, and we need atleasta two week notice of resignation. Short she did not open the door, my husband missed work,she claimed her schedule was wrong. Husband wanted to pay for two weeks discontinue service,told her I would try to convince him to get over miscommunication. Would call and have definite answer. That evening she called and left a voice mail stating she would no longer be able to provide services.However she cashed my checks for services.I had only a one day notice to find other arrangements. Also many places require two weeks up front and a registration fee.We have the money,but it is principle.She cashed the checks stopping payment not option.I am writting a letter to her any other options?

Yes, definitely small claims. You don't need a lawyer, just get information from the court's clerk in your county.

Contact the Better Business Bureau in your area and report her, and then contact a lawyer, you may have a small claims case to file. Good luck!

If she is a registered day care provider than first and foremost report her.
I would then take her to small claims court. You're right, it IS the principal of the matter.
I wish you the best of luck!
