Can anyone she some light on the legality of day care centers charging
parents for holidays when the day care center isn't even open.
Day care centers now charge a parent for an entire week even if the
child
isn't there but 2 days. If the child become ill because they
contracted a contageous illness from someone at the center and has to
be out, the parent still has to pay for the days the child was out.
Isn't there some protection for the parents from having to pay for
services that were not rendered.?
If it's like this area, demand for daycare far exceeds availability. That
allows the daycare centers to charge more for their services. If you don't
like it, you can always move to another daycare facility, or hire a private
sitter, nanny or au paire.
I assume these terms were given to you and you accepted them when you
enrolled your child. I doubt there's any law that prohibits them from
setting such conditions. It sucks, but that's the way it works.
