Parents and Guardians Forum>Two-Week Notice

I did search on the forum (I did!), but most results are for the forms to be given to the families, and my situation is the other way around.
I just realized we had 5 weeks of daycare left, with the last day being August 11 (school starts 16-th). I checked the parent handbook, and it mentions the 2-week written notice of termination, but I did not see any specific forms, nor did I hear about those (no wonder, as we never needed to terminate the care before). the director was on vacation, and I will ask next week if there is a form, but... in case there is none, does anyone have a nice-sounding base for a termination notice that a parent can write for a center?
we are not leaving because we all of a sudden hate it, we are leaving because it's time for K, and the daycare days are over (insert crying my eyes out here). I will miss it as much as I look forward to a new beginning.

This letter serves as notice that XXX's last day at XXX care will be XXX, as he is moving on to Kindergarten. He will attend up to and including XXX date. Enclosed is a check for $xxx that covers his tuition through this date (if you are including it). Thank you for providing care for XXX, blah blah blah.
It doesn't have to be anything major. Just a short, written note stating that you're withdrawing. If you have a deposit that is applied to last 2 weeks' tuition, include that your payment is short 2 weeks' tuition because of the prepaid final 2 weeks. I'd have 2 copies and ask them to sign yours, acknowledging that they have received a copy and agree to the financial terms stated in your letter (which should be in their handbook).

I only have one question. the author writes in the letter, "will no longer be attending ABC Daycare as of October 3, 2014" - is October 3 the last day or the day after? ours is August 11, and it's Friday, so what do I put in there, Friday or following Monday?

I'd probably say something like ">childs name<'s last day of attendance will be Friday, August 11th. " just to prevent any misunderstanding.

Yup. I always ask for clarification if it isn't worded similarly. I'd probably say something like ">childs name<'s last day of attendance will be Friday, August 11th. " just to prevent any misunderstanding.
YAY for kindergarten!
Do you have before and after care lined up? (or needed)
