We interviewed a daycare on Thursday and I spoke to two others Thursday and Friday. On Friday we called our first choice and they will take G starting MONDAY!!! Hooray! Did I fill you in on what happened at daycare last Friday?
Friday morning DH went with me to daycare. We decided we would tell them that we were giving one week's notice. When they asked why, we were going to say we couldn't afford it. We did this and the man was pretty upset. He cited the contract we signed saying that we agreed to give 2 weeks notice. Then he picked up the baby carrier and took her out of the room. DH and I left and I was in tears saying how I didn't get to say goodbye and didn't like the feeling I got when he took her out of the room. DH offered to take her to work for the day but that wouldn't be practical either especially with him still in his first 60 days with this company.
I had severe anxiety all day long and was thankful that I had a workshop day and it even got done early! I got to daycare by 2:30 and was never happier to see my princess. We left with a "see you Monday!" knowing full well that I would not let my child return to that daycare again.
Spoke to the other daycares that day and was waiting to hear back from #1 choice that afternoon. Phone FINALLY rang at almost 8:00 and they said they could start her Monday. :-) Relieved that she has a safe place to go that we are comfortable with. They are pretty much the complete opposite of first daycare... durring the interview didn't get into certain things, but I never doubted for a moment their love for the children they work with, and their passion for kids in general. When I spoke to owner/operator she said "You know, we're really excited to work with her, we kinda love her already." Just so relieved. And the best part is that she is literally 2 minutes from where I work!!
So daycare drama is done.... moving on to getting back to a normal routine. :-)

I know this may sound weird - but my husband loves to watch Judge Judy. There was a segment on this same kind of thing - daycare provider suing a parent for lack of payment after they had pulled their child out of an unsafe environment. Judge Judy sided with the parents saying that the contract stated that the provider was to provide a safe and healthy place. They did not live up to that part of the contract so the contract was null and void!! Good luck to you.
