Our family attended this home-based daycare for over a year and a half. On October 17th, 2025, the provider walked my daughter out and let me know that my daughter had shared something concerning about another child during the day. I asked my daughter about it in front of the provider, and during that brief exchange, the provider commented that what my daughter had said was not true. There was no follow-up plan discussed at that time.
Throughout our time there, we attempted to schedule conversations to better collaborate, understand expectations, and stay aligned. In my experience, these requests were often not responded to or didn’t lead to meaningful discussion. The provider may reference “behavioral concerns,” but from my perspective, if that had been the case, a more in-depth conversation between the provider and parents would have been appropriate. We were never offered a dedicated 1:1 meeting outside of quick drop-off and pick-up moments. As a family, we value involvement and are very open to feedback.
To my knowledge, the situation mentioned above wasn’t reported to the appropriate agencies until after I reached out myself, and we later learned the other child’s parent wasn’t notified right away. Within about 14 hours of the initial conversation, we were told our family could no longer attend the program.
Regarding the mention of “hiring a lawyer to stop bullying,” my personal impression is that the provider preferred to move on from the situation with me in silence.
I’m sharing our experience so other parents can feel informed, ask questions, and confidently advocate for their children. This is not an attack on the provider but is my families experience.
