This is an Parent contract and parent handbook issue.I think
you need to look at your parent contract and parent
handbook and if this issue is not written in it you should
very quickly add it to your parent contract and handbook.
I suggest you should have a line where parents must initial
everything they have read and agree with prior to enrolling
their child. There should also be a clause stipulating that
after ever effort has been made to solve the problems/conce
rns and after at least 3 meetings pertaining to this issue
the director and teacher has the authority to suspend said
child without the (parent signature). It's important to go
over the contract and parent handbook WITH the parent while
they are still rational and want to enroll their child. It
is time consuming but professional and the parent(s)understa
nd that you are professional and on top of center issues.
Your parent contract and parent handbook should be up-dated
every 6 months, because in the real world of child care some
thing new always come up that you need to guard yourself,
your business and your staff from. Good luck!!
