Thank you all for your wisdom. I am going to humor them by doing this conference tomorrow (30 minutes) and then I will hang up the phone and email them my termination notice. Had enough of these shenanigans and no one, I repeat NO ONE, will pressure me into anything. I am a businesswoman, NOT a personal nanny.

I think they need a nanny.
But, to answer your question:
Unless there is a medical reason (which I can't think of any offhand that would require a child to stay in a crib), they transition here at 2 yrs old. .

You have them initial on each line at the end of your tour? Or once they decide to enroll?
I always know by the end off the tour/interview whether I am willing to enroll the family. If I am, I ask them if they want to enroll, and we do it right there. If they need time to decide (which I encourage-I even give names of other good daycares that they could interview with), then I'll still go over policies, ask questions about whether they agree to them, and send the forms home and require them back before the first day.
I don't know why your mentor feels that it would seem harsh or turn off parents-for me, it has made my life MUCH easier. I have only ever interviewed 4 parents who have decided not to enroll with me when I have offered. EVER. I don't agree that the way I do things is a turn off for parents. I have actually had a couple of parents tell me that they appreciate the detailed contract/handbook/explanations because they know what to expect.

Daycare Services Termination Letter
Friday, August 25, 2017
Dear Family,
Based on what has been discussed thus far as well as your needs and expectations for care for DCK, I feel that you may be better off with a nanny or an individual babysitter that can come to your home for childcare services. Because of this, I feel like this isn’t a good fit for my program. As such, I am issuing notice for withdrawal of daycare services, effective immediately.
Your child(ren)’s last day of care will be Friday, August 25th, 2017. Please adhere to all termination policies with regards to payment and settling of your account.
In accordance with Biz Daycare’s Handbook and Contract Agreement, you are required to pay for services and any outstanding fees up until the last day of service stated in the Termination Letter, whether or not your child is present. (You currently owe $25)
I wish you and your family all the best. Good luck in your daycare search!
Warm Regards,
~Miss Daycare Lady
Owner/Operator

As someone else said, why would they care?? There really is no downside to switching to a mat and it wouldn't affect what they're doing at home. Geesh....
And the late fee, have they not even paid that yet? Considering how short of a time they've been coming and they've already got all these issues to discuss yeh, too much trouble for too little time.

If you go from pack-n-plays to nap mats, do you give your parents a heads up? Or just try it out?

I dunno if it were me, I'd stop taking her advice.
That is HORRIBLE business advice and honestly as a parent I'd feel like providers were all doing bait and switch type selling/marketing methods and it would turn me off to a child care immediately if they weren't transparent about their program policies.
No wonder families in your area have a hard time with child care.

Truth is, if you're looking for a mentor, I'd suggest hiring Nannyde to help you get your business going in the right direction. I can't imagine that you could hire a better consultant.
