The daycare kicked us out of their group after a disagreement about my daughter’s medical condition, and now they want three weeks’ notice. Can they sue me for not giving it, even though they aren’t responding to my messages?
If you signed a contract that said you need to give notice, they might have a case, but they’d need to show you the contract. Did they give you a copy?

Nope, I asked for it, but they haven’t sent it to me yet. They just keep dodging my requests.
@Case
That’s shady. If they don’t provide it, they might not have much of a case.
@Case
Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. I’ll wait and see what they do.
Also, if they’re making your daughter stay home over a medical condition, that could be seen as them breaching the agreement. You might not even owe them notice.

I didn’t think about that. They won’t accept the doctor’s note saying it’s not lice. Thanks for that perspective!
Even if they try to sue, they’d need to prove the three-week notice in court. If you have documentation of them not responding, that helps your case.

I’ve kept all the messages where I asked for the contract and they ignored me. Hopefully that will help if it gets to that point.
Honestly, it sounds like they’re just being difficult. I’d say wait and see if they follow through with any legal action.

Yeah, I think I’ll wait it out. They’re being unreasonable at this point.
If they’re denying your daughter based on her condition and not accepting the doctor’s note, that could also be considered discrimination. You might have more leverage than you think.

Good point! I’ll bring that up if things escalate. Thanks for the advice!
