How would you handle this daycare situation?
I have 2 kids at an in-home daycare. The lady's husband just called and told us he is kicking his wife out for being unfaithful (frankly, I don't care about their personal lives). He says, because she doesn't have insurance, our kids can't come back starting tomorrow if we don't sign a liability waiver that says he is not responsible in case something happens (he owns the house). The lady says she has insurance for her daycare business. To me, it sounds like the husband is just trying to ruin her business. She's a great babysitter and she is half the price of comparable places around here. I couldn't find any laws regarding kicking our kids out or about not having insurance. She is licensed. The daycare is in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Even in that environment, not many people other than her have the qualifications we require for our kids, which include CPR, sensory integration therapy, license, and a small environment. We left our last provider because there were too many kids and our youngest has an immune disorder that makes her very prone to infections. Not to mention we haven't budgeted for another place since this lady charges about half of everyone else in the area.
Also, Fairfax County and Virginia don't require insurance for in-home daycare.

Personally I wouldn't take my kids back just because I wouldn't want them around that drama. You don't know how bad things will get. I wouldn't sign a paper and I wouldn't let my kids go back.

Yikes, kids don't need to be around that environment. I don't care how good a babysitter she is, it will affect her even though it may not be evident in the short amount of time you spend with her. The husband sounds unstable. I would offer to have her come over to your house and watch your kids, she would probably appreciate the opportunity to get out of the house. This is assuming she will not be having to deal with other kids other than yours.
There are probably no laws that say a small business has to have insurance, unless that is part of being a licensed day care. If she loses her insurance, she may lose her license. And I'm sure the license is pertaining to the current location (house).
Good luck.

This is absolutely unreal that you'd consider sending your kids back there, and trot out 'well, it's cheap' as part of the rationale... Lady, you nuts.
Do shift work where you and Dad work opposing shifts; sell your house and rent a small apartment; work from home; do day care yourself -- figure something the eff out so you are not fancying that you are forced to subject your small children to a bad environment.

It is good to consider about the benefits that the day care center has to offer. But somehow those incidents creates a wrong impression on your kids' young minds. Better stay away and find someone better.
