Withdrawal from daycare letter

sms04j · December 2013

We have decided to withdrawal our son from his present daycare center. We have not been very happy for the past few months. Not only has he been sick for 3 solid months (this is normal I know)..but the center does not seem very clean most of the time I am in there. Children are allowed to crawl all over the dirty carpet that people walk all over (with their shoes on), toys are broken and sticky, communication is poor, and I have not seen much engagement with the babies in the room. We are going to have a family friend watch him most of the week (she also watches another 7 month old). My MIL may also watch him a couple days a week. So we will not be going to another center at this time.

They require a two week written notice. We have paid for the year tuition in full, so I will be requesting a refund for the remaining balance. My question is what should I include in the letter? I do not want to be rude or nasty at all.

Thanks.

Agreed. Just say you're withdrawing and please have your refund ready by the termination date. They can ask if they care why. Glad you found a better care situation!
