I have a new family in my daycare, a 3 year old girl and 1 year old boy. The family did not tell me anything in regards to special needs, but I suspect he has Down syndrome. It's only his third week here (2 days per week), and I've already sent him home. He can't crawl yet and he has no mobility in his legs. His family also did no inform me that he has an inhaler and "maybe some allergies" as I just found out this AM. He cries 4 out of the 6 hours he is here.
I feel like I cannot provide for him. I desperately want to tell his family that I can't provide for special needs, but I obviously can't say that! What would your advice to be handle this type of situation? I'm at a loss of what to do, but I'm pretty close to terminating him because he needs more than what I can do for him.
