I'm weird. So I used the phrasing "logistically and financially it made more sense to go with another provider" to kind of soften the blow. I do think it's classy to inform the daycare though 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-turn-down-a-daycare-provider#post-2876147 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 13:29:24 +0000 SweetCaroline 2876147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just thank her for her time and tell her you found another provider that was a better fit for your family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-turn-down-a-daycare-provider#post-2876146 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 13:28:13 +0000 Katrocap 2876146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter will be entering daycare in August when she is 8 months. We toured two family daycares on Friday. The second one was fantastic: happy, safe, friendly, I got a great vibe from the provider and kids. The first one was okay, nothing particularly wrong, but I just wasn't interested. Today the provider, Ms. Y, texted me and asked if I wanted to come by soon to meet her substitute provider. I didn't think we'd have anymore communication, that it was just up to me to contact her if I was interested. I'm not sure how to politely tell her I don't want to put my kid in her daycare. Any tips? </p>
